New Zealand national champion George Bennett rode his last stage race as a member of the Dutch team Jumbo-Visma at this year’s edition of the Tour of Britain, which concluded over the weekend in Aberdeen with an overall win for his teammate, Wout van Aert.

Bennett was one of only four men left standing for Jumbo-Visma by the end of the race, but the team formed a strong unit around the Belgian national champion and, despite a crash early in the race, Bennett remained a key domestique for the duration.
