The sprinters fought for the win for just the second time this week.

The 59th edition of the Italian World Tour event finished Sunday afternoon with a 154km stage held around San Benedetto del Tronto. The first part was a hilly one, and that was where a breakaway formed, the many attackers and puncheurs there hoping they could stand a chance against a peloton which wanted a bunch sprint.

Their maximum gap went over the two-minute barrier, which the chasers could easily manage as they made their way to the finishing circuit. In the end, it all came down to a frantic mass gallop, won by Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) after a late attacker was caught just 200 meters from the line.

Soudal Quick-Step didn’t get involved in the fight for a good result on the seventh stage of Tirreno-Adriatico, after Tim Merlier abandoned 80 kilometers into the day.
