The Italian sprinter proves to be the strongest in the sprint and wins the duel with Magnier

Jonathan Milan wins the second stage of the Tour of Pologne , 150.1 km from Międzyzdroje to Szczecin . The Italian sprinter doubled his lead, managing to master the sprint on a completely flat stage. Milan follows Garcia Cortina 's wheel and emerges with all his power in the finale.
Second place went to Paul Magnier who once again proved he couldn't keep up with Milan, while third place went to another Italian, Matteo Malucelli .
Great performance by the Italian champion who demonstrated his great physical condition in this Tour of Poland and took a small revenge against Magnier, who had beaten him several times in the Giro d'Italia .
In the general classification, Jonathan Milan strengthens his lead, with an 8" advantage over Paul Magnier and a 12" lead over Poland's Paul Malecki.
Tomorrow is the third stage, 193.5km from Gorzów Wielkopolski to Zielona Góra, with a few more challenging climbs, but which should always be fertile ground for sprinters.
