Tipperary’s Sam Bennett has been confirmed on the start list for the upcoming Tour of Spain.
It will be the Deceuninck Quick-Step riders first time tackling two grand tours in the same year.
He had a very successful Tour de France where he won the Points Classification and two stages.
Last year’s Vuelta saw him record two stage wins – this year’s three-week race starts on October 20th.
