With just three stages to go at the Giro d'Italia, Lidl-Trek's Jonathan Milan remains winless in this year's race. After another missed opportunity for a sprint victory on Thursday's stage 18, won by Paul Magnier of Soudal-Quick Step, Milan apologized to his teammates for not delivering in the finale.
"The guys, they did an amazing job, and I have to say sorry to them because if I didn't achieve the results that we were looking for, and after a big effort like today, they will need just this," he said at the finish.
"We did good work; unfortunately, I wasn't able to put the cherry on the cake."
