In his 15th year as a professional, 35-year-old George Bennett (NSN Cycling) claimed a second career victory in the New Zealand national road race championships on Saturday, soloing to victory to cap off his season start in style.
Bennett, who also won this title in 2021, was part of a small group that emerged in the middle of the 188km race, set on 20 laps near Cambridge, and then attacked on his own to go solo for the final three laps and take the win.
