Textbook was the used to describe Lidl-Trek’s lead out on Stage 2 of Tirreno-Adriatico.
After Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier controlled the race all day, Jonathan Milan’s sprint train, made up of Toms Skujins, Jasper Stuyven, Edward Theuns and Simone Consonni, managed their effort perfectly and reached every key milestone in the position they planned to on the tricky final lap before the Italian sprinter finished the job off with victory!
Race reaction from Jonathan Milan:
“It was the same finish as last year, and this time we knew exactly how to approach the sprint. We took all the lessons from last year and it was really crucial to be focused in these last kilometers. The guys guided me perfectly, just like we planned. Today was perfect, and I can’t thank them enough for their amazing effort. We controlled the race, we stayed at the front, avoided the chaos, and conserved energy. It was important and not super easy, I have to say, in the final to stay together and we wanted to make sure we took some crucial points all together in firs position, and, in the end, we made it happen. At the final turn I thought I was going too fast, but everything went well, as it was planned. The team did a great job, we were always together, especially in the final kilometres. This was a great work made by all the team.”
