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”.

We must continue to feed the fans’ dream, we are doing something extraordinary for what were the premises, we are going beyond our possibilities.”

He continued, “You have not won on the road for 91 days, what do you think? The data are irrefutable, and one of them is that we are second -3 from Inter, that means we don’t even lose, the team has shown regularity. That said, we want to get back to winning on the road. Tomorrow it will be Rafa Marin’s turn.”

The Napoli coach continued: “How is Buongiorno? We are monitoring, we do not want to put dates, it is a delicate situation in defense, we hope he can recover as soon as possible, for tomorrow however zero alibi. Congratulations to Inter for passing the round, there was no need for this match to see its strength, this reinforces more our path, Italian soccer in recent years has always been respected in Europe, there is consistency.”

He then concluded, “Matches have to be played. When I was 16, Lecceretrocesso won with Roma and cost them the Scudetto. Games must be taken, we must stay with our antennae straight. Di Lorenzo got off to a rocket start, I expect more goals from him because he has the ability, hoping it will bode well as it did with McTominay.”

Juventus, good news from the infirmary: Bremer returns to running

juventus,-good-news-from-the-infirmary:-bremer-returns-to-running

Juventus can finally smile: Gleison Bremer has made his return to the training field, a long-awaited sign that rekindles the hopes of Juventus fans. After six months of enforced stoppage due to a ruptured cruciate ligament, which occurred during the ill-fated Champions League match against Leipzig last October 2, the Brazilian defender has resumed running at Continassa.

The injury, which kept him out of the spotlight for much of the season, was a blow to Tudor’s team. Bremer, last season, had established himself as one of the leaders of the Juventus rearguard, thanks to solid performances, an imposing physical presence and quiet but effective leadership. His absence has weighed on the performance of the Bianconeri defense, which has struggled to maintain the same solidity without one of its key elements.

His return to the field, even if only for the first individual runs, represents a milestone on the road to recovery and instills optimism in the Juventus environment. It is not yet a return to the group, but the fact that Bremer has started working on the field is a clear sign of progress.

The Brazilian defender’s return is expected, however, not before the Club World Cup, which will see Juventus involved from Sat. June 14 to Sunday, July 13.
