Jonathan Milan is determined to take the green jersey all the way to Paris, but would face a stiff challenge from “cycling rockstar” Tadej Pogačar over the coming difficult days on the Tour de France.
The Italian was speaking after winning stage 17 at Valence, where he sprinted to a second stage victory – this one in the pouring rain after a chaotic final. As well as the 50 winner’s points, he had also chalked up 11 points earlier in the day after placing fifth in the intermediate sprint during the lumpy stage.
