Jonathan Milan clinches his third consecutive sprint victory at Tirreno-Adriatico in San Benedetto del Tronto, igniting fresh hope for Milan-San Remo. After struggling through hilly stages, Milan powers back to triumph despite a late crash that disrupts his leadout. He relies on Ed Theuns to guide him, then launches a decisive sprint, outpacing Sam Welsford.
"It was a tough Tirreno-Adriatico," Milan admits, acknowledging the week’s challenges. With Mads Pedersen likely sidelined due to injury, Lidl-Trek leans on Milan for a potential win in Milan-San Remo, alongside Mathias Vacek and Søren Kragh Andersen. However, they face fierce competition from UAE Team Emirates-XRG's Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel.
Milan remains optimistic, stating, "Never say never… I hope to stay in the main group this year." The Cipressa awaits.
