Jonathan Milan, a new challenge begins

Jonathan Milan’s words

Jonathan Milan has signed a three-year contract with Lidl Trek.

Team manager Luca Guercilena, looks forward to embracing him starting in 2024: “We welcome a rider we have been following for a long time, since long before this year’s Giro that simply provided an outstanding confirmation of his qualities. We believe that here with us, thanks to his dedication and values, he can become one of the strongest cyclists in the world.”

“The year 2023 was a turning point,” Milan said instead, “I started the season with the will to give more solidity and continuity of results and I found myself immediately fighting for important goals. At the Giro I had a good success, a bit unexpected to tell the truth: I received a lot of compliments and comparisons were made that flattered me, but I remain with my feet on the ground. I have learned to manage effort and expectations, now I want to end the season in Bahrain Victorious with the same trend and continue to grow and improve. I know I have a lot more to learn, and in Lidl Trek I will invest in myself and explore my limits: from January to now I am feeling the eyes of the cycling world on me more and more, I hope to prove everyone who speaks so highly of me right! Expectations and praise however have not changed my life, I just have extra motivation and confidence. I’m an athlete who always asks a lot of himself, that’s the real pressure I feel, the one that gives me the push and maybe sometimes puts me in a bit of a bind. And that is one of the aspects I am working on the most. In the new team I want to win and have fun: feeling passion and enthusiasm for what you do is the best fuse to do well, and I think I made the best possible choice.”
