'We gave it our best an I will certainly give it my all to try and win in Paris. Congratulations to Sam Bennett for his green jersey in this Tour de France.'[caption id="attachment_216409" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

Bennett, of course, will be taking nothing for granted and his Deceuninck–Quick-Step teammates will be doing all they can to aid him in his cause.
The Irishman staved off Sagan, in Friday's Stage 19, to all but confirm his victory. Sagan attacked in the final breakaway but he was shadowed by Bennett and his teammate Dries Devenyns.
'I tried in every way possible today to go for the win and the team did its best to make that option happen,' Sagan wrote. 'When we broke away with about 30km to go, the group grew to 12 riders and there were four teams I think that had two riders in there. As a result, it was impossible for me to respond to all the attacks on my own.'On Friday, Bennett let out a roar when he crossed the finish line. He knew most of the heavy lifting was done. Sagan is one of the all-time greats and the ultimate competitor but even he feels this race has been run.
