In a photo finish finale to stage 11 of the Giro d'Italia, Jonathan Milan was so close to snatching victory from Pascal Ackerman. In fact, Maglia Ciclamino actually believed he was the winner.
“It was very close. I gave everything and until the finish line I kept hoping for victory. In the end it came second. I'm glad I still have this jersey," revealed the Bahrain - Victorious sprinter in his post-stage interview with Cycling Pro Net.
"I can't deny that I thought I had won," continues Milan who now holds a lead of 36 points in the points classification standings ahead of his nearest rival Mads Pedersen. “It is still a good result for me. At the last corner I made a small mistake by being too far, but after that I rode a good sprint. I am satisfied with it.”
