After his good friend and compatriot Filippo Ganna triumphed in the opening stage time trial,
Jonathan Milan has now matched the feat of a
Tirreno-Adriatico stage win with a powerful bunch sprint victory on the second day of action this Tuesday afternoon.
"We brought the experience from last year and put it [into practice] today," reflected the Italian powerhouse of
Lidl-Trek in his post-stage interview afterwards, having survived a crash-marred day to dominate the final sprint ahead of
Maikel Zijlaard. "The guys were just guiding me and leading me in the perfect way, how we thought about it. Today was just perfect, thanks to all of them. It was a beautiful day.”
