Two for two! Jonathan Milan takes dominant sprint win on stage 1 of Deutschland Tour
CyclingThursday, 22 August 2024 at 17:04
Watts to use and abuse! Jonathan Milan won the prologue of the Deutschland Tour and despite putting his face to the wind in the finale of stage 1, he still went on to put out a sprint that had absolutely no match to consolidate his race lead.
Mauro Brenner, Nick Bangert and Anton Lennemann formed the breakaway of the day, one that wouldn't threaten the stage win however. Lidl-Trek after the win of Jonathan Milan in the prologue, took the responsibility in the peloton.
With 12 and 7 kilometers to go there were the summit of the two key climbs of the day. The first of which was steeper, with Santiago Buitrago launching an attack but being reeled in shortly after. Thomas Gloag, Tobias Johannessen and Archie Ryan created a gap right after in the final uphill section but the peloton was almost compact once again into the final kilometers.
Danny van Poppel and Mads Pedersen acted as luxury leadout in the stage finale but in the final meters of the stage there really was no doubt. Jonathan Milan sprinted head and shoulders above the competition to take his second consecutive win. Jordi Meeus and Max Kanter completed the podium.

- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
- Yes, still sad though, that he's retiring. Anyway, best wishes for his new chaptermhfrvz08-01-2026
- has he been pushed out by the team ?
ChillingCyclist08-01-2026 - Jesus was crusified at age 33. Go out BIG, not like Froome; a good cyclist but people are now laughing and making fun of Froomey. He just doesn't know when to quit. I understand Simon Yates. Who still remembers, Pogi the GOAT also talked about retiring early? He had enough of the BS that comes with professional sports, especially cycling.NikkoNicco08-01-2026
- I think the regret is greater for Cian than JV.mij08-01-2026
- Ayuso was a rat...a traitor. Lidli Trek will get rid of him in the next two years. Once a traitor, always a traitor. He betrayed his UAE team and Pogacar.NikkoNicco08-01-2026

- Quite a surprise, he's been a model Pro and as a nasty Brit I'm rather proud of what he's achieved. I sat watching, absolutely gutted for him on the Finnestre in 2018 but for many of us what he did this year was unexpected but brilliant (despite rooting for Isaac). Chapeau Simon, thanks for giving us something to cheer for, have a great retirementslappers6608-01-2026
