2024 Giro d’Italia: Stage 13 Results

  • Ron 

Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) has won Stage 13 of the 2024 Giro d’Italia, the 179km long Riccione-Cento. Stanislaw Aniolkowski (Cofidis) and Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) finished second and third respectively.

After being trapped in the echelons with 60km to go, Jonathan Milan claimed his third stage win at Cento as he was perfectly led out by his team Lidl-Trek. Only Fernando Gaviria tried to upset him in the final kilometre. The tall Italian won significantly ahead of Poland’s Stanislaw Aniolkowski and German Phil Bauhaus. Tadej Pogacar retained the Maglia Rosa before the crucial week-end made of a flat individual time trial and the queen stage.

Speaking in the press conference, the stage winner Jonathan Milan said: “I’ve been a bit worried when I’ve been stuck behind in the echelons. We realised straight away that it was happing. Our reaction was “haha, here it is!”. The team car also informed us through the ear piece and we chose to move back up as much as possible on the left side of the road. There was never a big gap but it’s been demanding to close it. There was a nice rhythm. It took us a bit of time to come across. Then we decided to stay at the front. We knew the finale was complicated with speed bumps, curves and roundabouts. My team-mates have a great experience for the sprints. They motivate me a lot. They do a fantastic job but I don’t have to say it, it’s obvious on the TV images. They’re impressive!”.

The Maglia Rosa Tadej Pogacar said: “It’s easier for me to race with the Maglia Rosa than it would have been four years ago when I was stressing a lot. Now my team is so strong that I don’t stress anymore. I didn’t in the echelons today. I’m confident also for the time trial tomorrow even though it’s pan flat and not as suitable for me as last TT in Perugia was. I’m happy to race this Giro. The crowd has been great so far. Italian people love to see Jonathan Milan winning. I also admire him a lot for he’s delivering in this race”.
