Jonathan Milan had been waiting for this moment. Stage after stage, the sprint finishes slipping away. Today, finally, he got his. A thrilling race at the front, and Milan took it.

Ciccone, racing with everything he had, every single day, heart firmly on sleeve. Magnier, young, fearless, dominating the sprint stages before Milan had his say.
