The Carrick-on-Suir rider was stunned recently when his Bora-Hansgrohe team passed him over for selection for the Tour, admitting he had no indication that could happen.

He won two stages plus the green jersey the last time he participated and said he was sure he would be back to his top condition for the event. Bennett has an opportunity to make a point about his form in the Sibiu Tour, a stage race in Romania running until Sunday. While it is a much smaller event than the Tour, a successful performance there would boost his morale and help him build towards a strong end-of-season.He said recently that he was considering targeting the world championships and also hoped for selection for the Vuelta a España.
