Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) won the sprint into the Piata Mare of Sibiu on the opening day of the Sibiu Cycling Tour. The Irishman had room to spare as he crossed the line ahead of a Lotto Dstny duo, Milan Menton finishing second and Michael Schwarzmann.
Bennett launched his move on the uphill cobbled section of the historic city centre, accelerating from behind the slipstream of Schwarzmann. Menton attacked from behind Filippo Fiorelli (Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Fainzanè and Davide Bomboi (TdT-Unibet) and then came around his teammate to fall short of the catch.
