Ireland’s Sam Bennett sprinted to his second win in three days and third of the season on stage three of Bayern Rundfahrt in Germany on Friday.

The Bora-Argon 18 rider beat Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) into second place and Ramunas Navardauskas (Cannondale-Garmin) into third in Ebern.

Bennett picked up 10 bonus seconds for his win and consequently moves back to the top of the general classification, two seconds ahead of second-placed Bouhanni and three seconds ahead of third-placed former leader John Degenkolb (Giant-Alpecin).

The five-day race continues on Saturday with a 26.1km individual time trial in Hassfurt on stage four.
