Sam Bennett and Ryan Mullen confirmed for Vuelta a España

Sam Bennett and Ryan Mullen have both been named to the Bora-Hansgrohe team selection for the Vuelta a España, with the announcement on Friday morning ensuring they will line out for the start in Utrecht in one week’s time.

Both were expected to compete in the Tour de France in July but were ultimately passed over for selection when the team decided to target a top three finish with the Russian rider Alexandr Vlasov. Bora-Hansgrohe picked specific riders to support that challenge, leaving the two Irishmen at home. Sprinters very much thrive on success and momentum. There is a sense that if Bennett takes one stage it could get him fully back on track, with more victories likely to follow.Both he and Mullen will test their form in this Sunday’s European road race championships in Munich. Although the race is hilly early on, the flatter second half could see things come down to a bunch gallop.
