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.”

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
