He credited his teammates for their support during the challenging race, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and mental motivation. Milan understands the value of the race miles as preparation for the Tour de France and the psychological advantages gained from his team's belief in him.
"After yesterday, I was really, really tired, and today I knew that it would be this climb here where they will go full gas and try to drop me."
"In the end, I was just on the limit and my teammates waited for me, brought me back, and they got me until the last 100 metres. I think it was a super team job."
