It was a chaotic finish to stage two of the CRO Race as Pierre Barbier's premature celebrations on the line were deemed to be in vain, with Jonathan Milan taking victory for the second day in a row. Barbier (B&B Hotels-KTM) and Milan (Bahrain Victorious) were wheel to wheel alongside Elia Viviani (Ineos Grenadiers) in the run-up to the line in Zadar, and Barbier thought he had timed his dip perfectly to take the glory, celebrating wildly as the riders came across the line. Ad However, his joy was to be short-lived, as the photo-finish revealed that Milan had won by just 0.4 milliseconds.
