Jonathan Milan could be the surprise of this Milano-Sanremo: "I still can’t say how much of my potential has been seen"
Cycling
With Mads Pedersen and former winner Jasper Stuyven, the Lidl-Trek lineup for Milano-Sanremo is already stacked, but the newcomer Jonathan Milan would still like to have a word in his home Monument.
"This is an important moment in my calendar, the start of a series of races that I have been waiting for, ones that will be a remarkable test for me. The Classics are races where experience counts a lot and that’s a factor to keep in account for me. I think the best approach is to take everything step-by-step."

"I will face Milano-Sanremo with very high morale. My wins and performance at Tirreno-Adriatico gave me a boost and strong confidence in my form. That’s what I wanted. I like this Monument, of course, and I dream about winning it one day, but it’s also a very difficult race to approach, really unpredictable and experience plays a pivot role."
"The 2024 Milano-Sanremo is an important opportunity for me to grow. I started this season with the motivation to use every race to learn, to improve. From Valenciana to today, everything has been a step forward. Now I don’t want to stop, and I feel the same ambition in the team. It’s also a path to discovering myself as a rider and, honestly, I still can’t say how much of my potential has been seen," he concludes.

- Remember, Del Toro struggled in this Tour. He is great, no doubt about that, but comparing him to a four time gt winner is absurd at this point. He has the potential. We'll have to see how he develops.awp13-11-2026

- You don't gift grand tours as it has come to light that Jonas has come to regret doing such.
Front24213-11-2026 - Exactly you said it urslf - he outclimbed del toro by 19 sec. 19SEC and you say hes alot better than del toro still lol? And can also do the same where del toro did that to jonas even and del toro dauphine numbers better than jonas all year so why this hard whats the issue its super easy stuff - del toro wasnt that before. Then factor in both their trajectory the last years and the answer is self explonatory like i said. Nothing against jonas like many do but the typing is no the wall and so stupidly easy as its so self explanatory now. Have a good daymiguel13-11-2026
