Sam Bennett - no same day spoilers

Beasty

Signs for NetApp Endura

Delighted to see him get himself sorted after his storming finish to the season (as well as earlier in the season with his performances in the Ras)

Lefevre has his doubts that Sam will be ready for the Tour

https://cyclingtips.com/2021/06/sam-bennett-unsure-about-the-tour-de-france-will-cavendish-replace-him/

Usual Lefevre caveats on anything he says…

Junior

He was on IG on Sunday riding his bike anyways ...

Paddy has a weekly column in a Belgian paper so he probably just needed something juicy to send in.

In my head I always imagine it is a self serving rant like the old Sam Allerdici articles

Cleared for the Tour apparently!

Patrick stirring again and also Saying Sam lost Scheldeprijs because he got nervous with Cavendish in the team.

"If you bring Mark then you saw what happened in Scheldeprijs [ed - the team missed out on victory, with Bennett finishing second and Cavendish third]," Lefevere said.

more like cav sitting on his wheel made the team less focused in the leadout

Junior

They ran out of men for the lead out and he had a lad sitting on his wheel shouting at him when to go, I think Patrick has trouble reading different emotions.

Having read some of the comments, are we sure "UK Cycling Expert" is a parody account on twitter?

Colbrelli has said hes aiming for it as well. He's as good as Sagan at getting over the lumpier stuff.

Loads of sprint stages too. More than other years. Ewan a contender if he wants it

happytramp

Sam has said repeatedly this season that DQS are just focused on their sprint and aren't thinking about what other teams are doing. I'm a bit worried that that plays directly into Ewan's hands... If they're just going to ignore Ewan sitting on Sam's wheel and jumping him in the last 50 meters then it could be a frustrating tour for sam.

Ewan looks to be in super form too.

corelokttikka

Didn’t he pull out of the Giro with a knee injury too, he’s bluffing IMO. I’m surprised DQS doesn’t put one of their riders on the back of Sams wheel to stop other riders getting on his.

WTF - I thought they said he was ok a few days ago.

Super disappointing for Bennett and for the Tour itself.

Macy0161

Confirmed anyway

Gutted for Sam. Gutted for us on a couple of levels - no sam to cheer on, and subject to the English speaking press cav-w*nkfest. And I say that as someone who actually thinks Cav is ok!

Indeed, I like Cav (think he’s the best ever sprinter too) but the reaction has already turned me against him

Ewan for the sprints please

Yes to both. Sagan for Green now

Very disappointed for Sam, won't be the same without him and he had such a great start to the season. I'll be cheering for Ewan and Demare, I'm afraid Cav's best days are well and truly behind him.
