Sam Bennett's impressive form in the Tour of Turkey has continued.
The Irish rider won his second successive stage of this year's race, beating his Bora-Hansgrohe team-mate Felix Grossschartner into second.
It's Bennett's sixth stage victory overall this year, and his ninth across the last three editions of the Tour of Turkey.
He's been left of Bora-Hansgrohe's team for next month's Giro d’Italia team - despite take three stage victories in the race in 2018.
