    Bennett said: “We really wanted to win another stage today. All I had to do was follow the guys. With the straight run in and the crosswind, it was messy, with a lot of guys changing lane, but Michael [Morkov] brought me to the perfect position with 150m to go. We’ll go for it again tomorrow.” Image Credit: AFP
