Bennett’s Tour dream

Sam Bennett is targeting the podium at the Tour de France in 2015 after just failing to make the team for cycling’s most prestigious event this year.

Bennett’s Tour dream

The 23-year-old sprinter recently had his contract with Team NetApp Endura extended to 2017 after an outstanding first season as a professional that included four wins and a fifth place in the prestigious Scheldeprijs classic in Belgium.

“The Tour de France is the biggest race in the world,” Bennett said. “I had a good first half to the season and then I thought I was going to get picked for the Tour de France but I couldn’t do it in the end. I had peaked for it and then I had six weeks with no racing and it’s just impossible to keep that form.
