Jonathan Milan, riding for Lidl-Trek, secured his 10th win of the season in the opening stage of the Renewi Tour, expertly navigating the final sprint to edge out Jasper Philipsen.
The stage showcased a mix of tactical racing and natural attrition, featuring tough climbs and intense competition, which ultimately led Milan to emerge victorious in Bilzen.
Despite a late crash affecting sprinters like Olav Kooij, Tim Merlier, and Dylan Groenewegen, the remaining riders pushed through with Milan taking the lead in the race.
Milan now sits firmly in the leader's position, four seconds ahead of Philipsen, following a stage characterized by aggressive attacks and strategic racing on hilly terrain.
