Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) paid back all of his teammates work (and faith in him) in spades! With fifty kilometers to race, he was off the back with his team desperately trying to pull him back up to the peloton. Obviously, they succeeded. It may have been that extra incentive he needed to out sprint Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious), Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Stian Fredheim (Uno X-Mobility). His stage win came with ten bonus seconds which made him equal on time with Tadej Pogacar who started the day in the Maillot Jaune. But since Milan has won the most recent stage, it is Italian who will be wearing the coveted yellow jersey tomorrow. I can't think of a better way to thank your team for their help. Van Der Poel's second third place in a row is enough for him to wear the Maillot Vert of most consistent sprinter at the start line tomorrow.
