Sam Bennett
" Good for confidence
"I'm quite happy to be on the podium, it's good for confidence, even if the aim is always to win. The guys did a fantastic job, they have the experience: we got back to the front of the race quite early and that was the right decision because the road was almost blocked from 30-40 kilometers to the finish. We worked well together and were able to keep our position, making the race quite fluid and less stressful. The finish was pretty chaotic and we weren't able to do the traditional launch for the sprint, but in the end there was a great collective effort."
