Pogacar remains in Giro control as Milan takes third stage win

Jonathan Milan of Lidl-Trek maintained his excellent form at the Giro d'Italia to win stage 13 on Friday, the Italian's third stage victory.

His team worked perfectly, leading him out into the last kilometre and Milan was well placed in second as they rounded the final bend, but it looked like Fernando Gaviria would steal the win as he took to the front.

Milan, however, showed just why he is the points classification leader as he pounced to take another stage victory, with Poland's Stanislaw Aniolkowski finishing strongly in second and Phil Bauhaus third.

Irish cyclist Ryan Mullen of Bora-Hansgrohe was among the group of 93 other riders that finished with the same time as Milan.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) maintained his firm grip on the leader's maglia rosa, and is still two minutes and 40 seconds ahead of Daniel Felipe Martinez, with Geraint Thomas 18 seconds further behind in third.
