Lefevere: Bennett like ‘women who return home after abuse’Rider set to re-sign for Bora-Hansgrohe two years after leavingThe Deceuninck-Quick-Step general manager, Patrick Lefevere, has likened Sam Bennett to “women who return home after domestic abuse” as the
Irish sprinter prepares to leave the Belgian team for his old home at Bora-Hansgrohe.
The highly insensitive comments were made in Lefevere’s weekly column for the Flemish newspaper Het Nieuwsblad and come after Bennett, who won the points classification at the 2020 Tour de
France during his first season with Deceuninck-Quick-Step, was unable to defend that green jersey due to a knee injury.
