George Bennett had nothing but praise for his three teammates' determination to bring home an overly large mass breakaway in stage 11 of the Vuelta a España, but he could not hide his frustration either, at being unable to go for the win.

The 38-man move on stage 11 across the hills of southern Galicia contained no less than four representatives from Israel-Premier Tech: Bennett, Marco Frigo, Matthew Riccitello, and Corbin Strong.
