    Kiwi George Bennett is looking forward to the lightening fast descents on the Giro d'Italia


    Bennett's been named leader of the Jumbo Visma team in the first grand tour of the year next month.

    Jumbo Visma switched bike suppliers to Cervelo this year and the new bikes include disc brakes- something Bennett had never used before on a road bike.
