Sam Bennett sprinted to victory in the second stage of the Cycling Tour of Turkey on Wednesday, his second win in two days in a row.

Bennett won the uphill sprint after a lead-out train caught up on the one-man breakaway of his fellow Bora-Hansgrohe rider Lukas Postlberger who just could not keep it in the final 100 meters.

Felix Großschartner, another Bora-Hansgrohe rider, took the second spot as Team Manzana Postobon rider Jhonatan Restrepo Valencia came in third.

Bennett now leads both the general classification and sprint after the 183.3-kilometer second stage from Tekirdag to Eceabat.
