Milan vows 'unforgettable' Criterium, to face Tour de France green jersey rival Philipsen
Less than two months after winning the Tour de France green jersey for topping the points classification, Italy's Jonathan Milan has signed up for the Nov 1-2 Tour de France EFGH Singapore Criterium.
The 24-year-old said via a short video at a media session at Mandarin Oriental on Sept 12: "I really can't wait to be at the Tour de France EFGH Singapore Criterium for my first time ever. I'm really excited to be there and I really can't wait to see you all there. Let's make it unforgettable!"
Milan's participation sets up a tantalising sprint showdown between the Italian Stallion and Belgium's Jasper "The Master" Philipsen, who claimed the Tour de France green jersey in 2023.
