Jonathan Milan: "I suffered a lot"

June 9 ^th 2025 - 17:56

“It was really tough! I came here to keep building up the condition and get some nice results after altitude training. Yesterday, I really suffered, it was my first race in a long time… And I suffered a lot again today. It will take me a bit to recover after this day but this victory gives me a big smile and a lot of confidence.

I got dropped at one point and I was really on the limit to come back. I have to say a massive thanks to my teammates. If I had been alone, it would have been really complicated to come back but with a team like that supporting you, believing in you, it becomes much easier. They gave me extra-motivation. We knew we had to take the last corner at the front and it was just a perfect lead-out.

It’s nice to also take the yellow jersey. It means a lot, not just for me, but for the whole team. We’ll see if I can also have it in the Tour. Let’s take things step by step!”
