Away from the 2024 Vuelta a Espana, the Deutschland Tour kicked off this Wednesday afternoon with a short prologue. In a display of dominance by Lidl-Trek, Jonathan Milan narrowly edged teammate Mads Pedersen for the win.
“It was really important for us to start well in this race,” admits the two time Maglia Ciclamino winning Italian in his post-stage interview afterwards. “I really gave it my all. Mads was very close, less than a second. It was important for all of us. It was something different than usual. I think we have a very fast bike and we showed it. It was important for the whole team to take home the win. I would have been happy if Mads had finished first. We both feel very good, we will do our best.”
“The season has been really good, we achieved all the goals we had," Milan concludes, having also secured an Olympic bronze medal on the track at the recent Paris Olympic Games. "Now, in this second part of the season, I feel really good. We have to continue like this.”

- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024

- A good analogy is germane; a bad analogy isn't. You could say the strength of an analogy can be judged by its germaneness. I thought the bank account analogy was rather germane indeed!mikebeast16-11-2024
