Milan wins stage 11 on the line, Merlier relegated

Jonathan Milan of Lidl-Trek claimed his second stage victory of this year's Giro d'Italia as he won stage 11 after outsprinting Tim Merlier, who was later relegated to 89th for moving across Juan Sebastian Molano at the finish.

"Last year after I won I was always up there in the sprints but I couldn't win another one. It's important to learn from the mistakes I've made in the past," Milan said. Milan strengthened his grip on the points jersey, while overall leader Tadej Pogacar finished safely in the bunch, avoiding a crash near the end, to keep the maglia rosa, two minutes and 40 seconds ahead of Colombian Daniel Felipe Martinez of Bora-Hansgrohe.

The trio were never allowed create too much of a gap by the peloton, which was controlled by Milan's Lidl-Trek team, and they were caught with 35 kilometres to race to set up the expected sprint finish.
