"Everything went perfectly for me in the sprint" - Jonathan Milan victorious at second opportunity at Tour of Guangxi

Jonathan Milan had hinted at his great form currently and on stage 2 of the Tour of Guangxi he delivered. The Bahrain - Victorious sprinter was by far the fastest into Qinzhou and has also become the new race leader.
“The sprint went perfectly for me. The team put me in the perfect position at the end where a sprinter wants to be. Everything went perfectly for me in the sprint. I am very happy and want to enjoy this to the fullest," Milan said in a post-race interview. On stage 1 he was beaten by his compatriot Elia Viviani, but the bonifications he got came in very handy today.
Milan has climbed to the podium twice after his stage victory. Whilst yesterday he was followed by Viviani upon launching his sprint, today no-one had his wheel. He won with a comfortable margin over the rest of the field, with Arvid de Kleijn coming the closest to him. He overtook Dries de Bondt in the GC who had gotten bonus seconds throughout both breakaways so far in the race.
“Of course I'm looking forward to a holiday, but a race is a race," he says, asked on his thoughts regarding the end of the season which looms closer. "It's always nice to win, both for myself and for the team. I really wanted to bring something to them this season, so it was very important to ride here.”

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024
- Whining isn’t a good look, Lance. Oh and doping or not, the GOAT is still Eddy Merckx imho - lance couldn’t t even come close when you compare resultsCrashjames16-12-2024
- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
