Jonathan Milan achieved his first stage victory at the Tour de France on stage 8, benefiting from a strong lead-out train. The dedicated support from teammates, including Simone Consonni and Edwards Theuns, significantly contributed to his performance. Milan, who previously showcased his talent in the Giro d'Italia, now leads the competition for the green jersey with 182 points. The emotional bond among teammates was evident, especially during Milan's challenging moments in earlier stages, highlighting their commitment to each other's successes.
The group are tightly knit, and so Milan's breakthrough win after two frustrating sprints earlier in the Tour brought a few tears to Theuns' eyes after the stage.
Milan, who already had four Giro d'Italia stages and two points jerseys to his name, is now in the driving seat for the green jersey at the Tour.
When he joined the team, I personally asked to be in his lead-out. That was the start of a great relationship.
Milan has a lot of strength, so there's a lot of work to be done. He produces a lot of power, so you have to go for maintenance every now and then.
