Milan satisfied with his performance in CRO Race stage four - "I’m happy because I also tried my best on a tricky final"
CyclingFriday, 30 September 2022 at 22:15
A thrilling sprint concluded the fourth stage of the CRO race between Bahrain Victorious duo Jonathan Milan and Matej Mohorič and B&B Hotels p/b KTM rider Axel Laurance. The winner was determined by a photo finish, and Laurance finally achieved his first professional win.
The weather was not forgiving today, and it showered for hours which made the final kilometres very tricky and slippery. Milan was leading the peloton, but a crash forced him to slow down. “When the guy crashed in front of me, I had to avoid him, and my chain went down. I tried immediately to restart and to move on as much as possible before the finish line," said Milan.
However, that one mistake cost him the crucial time he could have used to take the lead and get his third victory in the tour. “ But it was too late, and Axel Laurance (B&B Hotels) made an amazing sprint. He was one of the best, so congrats to him. I’m happy because I also tried my best on a tricky final,” concluded Milan. Though he may have lost the stage, he still holds the top position in GC.

- What’s more, I think luxury is more the writers opinion than any objective evaluation, it certainly isn’t big and compared to many places not even costly (sou ds great in Kroner though). If I had to estimate, I’d say in value, Jonas’ 5 houses probably just about manage to equal Tadej’s apartment.Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- I don’t call the writers here journalists, they are at best paid posters, no more knowledgable than many of us. I certainly don’t agree with everything they say or portray but I do understand they have to provoke to make their hitherto business model sustainable. And as it isn’t possible to discuss with them, it’s more interesting, rewarding and instructive to pick points to discuss with people willing to engage. I choose and have my own reasons for positive of negative opinions on riders and engage when someone disagrees on those, not interested in engaging on other reasons. What I agree with or don’t is pretty irrelevant though, I think you’ll agree JV gets his fair share of lifestyle criticism (also here) so why should TP be exempt? Do you think he comes off worse?Mistermaumau11-01-2026

- Not exactly a recent development, been known in elite sports for decades and cycling since years : « Approximately one in five professional cycling athletes will eventually develop a sport-related vascular problem. However, detecting such flow limitation is a diagnostic challenge as the sensitivity of the currently available standard diagnostic tools is limited. «Mistermaumau11-01-2026
- Unfortunately, that is sounding more and more like a plausible explanation to this situation.
