Jonathan Milan aims for Milan-San Remo

Jonathan Milan wants to succeed in a feat that Italian cycling has failed to celebrate for a full seven years: winning Milan-San Remo. On the sidelines of the UAE Tour, where he won the first stage by beating Finn Fisher-Black and Tobias Lund Andresen in a sprint, the Lidl-Trek sprinter from Friuli has in fact confirmed that he wants to have fun on the roads of the Emirates, aiming forò the Classicissima on March 22. The last representative of the tricolor to triumph on the historic finish line of Via Roma è was Vincenzo Nibali, in 2018.

“We are here to prepare the Milan-San Remo, although the race finale è different – confirmed the winner of the first stage of the Tour of the UAE, which ended on the finish line placed at the height of Liwa Palace, in Abu Dhabi -, then there will be the other classics. First, forò we want to have fun at the UAE Tour”.

“I was very motivated to sprint to win this stage, because the finish was slightly uphill,” added Milan. “It was important to find the best position, to start the sprint at 700 meters. I also saw Pogacar attacking, I followed a Bardiani man and made my sprint”.

Jonathan Milan not only celebrated his success on the roads of the UAE Tour, but also wore the red jersey of the leader of the classification, although the race does not lend itself to the ultimate success of a sprinter: “There are already better specialists than me in time trials,” he said, “but I will do everything I can to keep the jersey”.

Joshua Zirkzee, season over: first year at United to forget

Published

on

Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”

A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.

Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.

Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
