Tipperary’s Sam Bennett was denied back-to-back wins on stage two of the Paris-Nice today.
Following yesterday’s stage win, the Carrick-on-Suir native finished fifth in today’s race.
Bennett was lucky to avoid a crash involving around fifteen riders with a kilometre to go but the result sees him remain first in the points classification and third in general classification.
The action returns in France tomorrow with a fourteen kilometre time trial.
