Ayuso reigns supreme at Tirreno-Adriatico race in Milan

UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider Juan Ayuso sealed his victory at the Tirreno-Adriatico on Sunday after cruising home in the final procession stage won in a bunch sprint by Jonathan Milan.

Italian Milan won his second stage of the week-long race to claim the points jersey after pipping Ireland's Sam Bennett, who only just failed in his bid to catch the local hero on the line.

The Lidl-Trek rider triumphed in a nervy ending in San Benedetto del Tronto on Italy's Adriatic coast in which Soudal Quick-Step’s Paul Magnier crashed and took out a clutch of other riders.

“I'm really happy to get the second win, it was a big goal for me and the team,” said Milan, who had a hard fall on Wednesday, to broadcaster RAI.

“In the end I managed to recover as best I could. My side still hurts a bit but it’s all good.”
