He wanted to make sure there was no repeat of his crash last year on the twisting uphill finish.
The Carrick on Suir man crossed the line with 5 seconds to spare over the chasing bunch.
As well as the 3 stage wins he also notched up 2nd and 4th place finishes and won the overall points classification.
This is Bennett’s final race of the 2018 season.
