Le jeune Irlandais de Carrick-on-Suir Sam Bennett (An Post ChainReaction) remporte au sprint la 5ème étape du Tour Of Britain ( 177.1km) jugée à Caerphilly . 177.1km Déjà 2ème sur la 2ème étape et battu sur un fil par Gerald Ciolek, il prend sa revanche et l’emporte devant Michal Golas (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) et Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling). A noter que Bennett faisait partie d’une groupe d’une vingtaine de coureurs dont Quintana, Wiggins , Dan Martin qui avait tenté de partir plus tôt tout comme le Français David Lelay qui avait été seul devant durant plusieurs km.
Sam Benett : « C’était un vrai combat dans le final mais je savais que si je m’accrochais dans la dernière montée, je pourrais récupérer ensuite et c’est ce que j’ai fais. Je suis parti un peu large dans le virage mais j’ai réussi. »
« It was a real hard fight coming into the finish but I knew if I hung on up the climb that I would recuperate quick enough for the sprint and I just hung in (…)Bit of a gamble going into the last corner – I went a bit wide – but I had enough acceleration to take the win »
Bradley Wiggins reste toujours leader
