Jonathan Milan vs Tim Merlier Tips

His Lidl??'Trek lead-out train delivers seamless positioning into the final kilometer. He thrives in uphill sprints, claimed stage eight victory on a slight uphill finish, and Merlier lacks the form to match him.

Merlier is one of the most dangerous sprinters when the finish line comes after technical corners or slight elevation. If Milan hesitates in positioning or the lead-out falters, Merlier's raw explosiveness could steal the win with perfect timing.
