Sam Bennett
"I always believed I could come back".
"We had a different plan for today, we were able to adapt in the final and show our experience to control the situation. With the team, we made decisions quickly and they were the right ones, which enabled me to sprint in very good conditions. We've got good momentum and I think there will be more good results to come. I'm here to win races and I hope to come back to the Tour de France to show that I'm still capable of winning. I've always believed I could come back and I'm going to keep believing in myself."
