Sam Bennett’s arrival at Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale was an open secret in recent months, and his transfer was finally confirmed at the team’s 2024 presentation in Lille on Monday.
Vincent Lavenu’s squad has not featured a top tier sprinter since Jaan Kirsipuu in the early 2000s, but Bennett explained that he felt Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale offered him the best chance of returning to the Tour de France.
