Jonathan Milan claims back-to-back wins at UAE Tour

FADEL SENNA / AFP

Jonathan Milan has taken back‑to‑back stage wins at the UAE Tour, powering to victory in Friday's fifth stage in Dubai.

The Italian surged through a chaotic bunch sprint that was thrown off balance by a crash involving his younger brother Matteo Milan.

But the Lidl–Trek rider kept his composure, launching early and holding off Erlend Blikra of Uno‑X Mobility and Matteo Malucelli from XDS Astana.

Overall race leader Antonio Tiberi of Bahrain Victorious finished safely in the main pack, keeping the red jersey as the peloton heads towards the decisive climb on Jebel Hafeet this Saturday.
