Sam Bennett pipped on the line as Nicolas Roche holds leader’s red jersey at Vuelta a Espana
Sam Bennett missed out on a second consecutive Vuelta a Espana stage win by the slightest of margins as he was pipped on the line by Fabio Jakobsen in El Puig.
Ireland's Bennett, who took his first career Vuelta win 24 hours earlier, did well to even contest the sprint after being caught out of position in the finale, but – after powering his way back in – he was edged out by the Dutchman in a photo finish.
