Tour of Qatar)
C’est l’Irlandais Sam Bennett, team Bora-Argon 18, 24 ans qui a remporté la 6ème et dernière étape du Tour du Quatar entre la plage de Sealine et Doha. Au terme des 124 km, il devance l’Italien Andrea Guardini (Astana) et le Français Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis).
Orginaire de Carrick on Suir en Irlande où il a usé ses premiers vélos sous la houlette de Martin O’Loughlin , il a , entre autre, remporté l’année dernière la Clasica de Almeria et le Tour de Cologne .
En Bretagne, on l’avait découvert sur le Kreiz Breizh 2012 avec la sélection nationale Irlandaise dirigé par John Horgan. Il avait remporté 2 étapes de la RAS et une étape sur le Tour of Britain en 2013 avec son team An Post Chainreaction.
Be Celt)Sam Bennett(a l’arrivée): » Les gars m’ont vraiment bien amené avec une excellente position dans le dernier virage. L’équipe a fait un bon job, et quand le gars d’Astana est parti à 200 mètre, je suis allée le chercher, je ne pouvais pas attendre qu’un autre le fasse, c’était absolument parfait. »
Le général est remporté pour la seconde fois consécutive par le Néerlandais Niki Terpstra (Etixx) en devançant le Polonais Maciej Bodnar ((Tinkoff-Saxo) et le Norvégien Alexander Kristoff du team Katusha
