Bennett won his second stage of the opening UCI WorldTour event of the season
Sam Bennett doubled up with a second win at the UAE Tour as he took stage six in a sprint ahead of Elia Viviani and Pascal Ackermann.
As expected, the 165km stage from Deira Island came down to a bunch sprint on the Palm Jumeirah, where Bennett was expertly guided into place by Deceuninck-Quick-Step team-mate Michael Morkov, making it look easy as his rivals could only scrap for second place.
Jumbo-Visma s David Dekker looked best placed to challenge Bennett but faded to fourth as Viviani and Ackermann came around him.
