Jonathan Milan’s bid to get back on terms with his fellow sprinters on the final stage of the Giro d’Italia after a broken chain ended with a second place behind Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep), overall victory in the points competition and, much later, a fine and points penalty from the UCI.
Milan was unlucky enough to have his chain break just six kilometres from the finish in Rome, meaning that - particularly with the Lidl-Trek team car a relatively long way back in the line of support vehicles - a frantic pursuit was in order to try and take part in the sprint.
