# Jonathan Milan

Jonathan Milan (born 1 October 2000) is an Italian professional track and road cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Lidl–Trek.

## Career
### Track

Milan rode in the men's team pursuit event at the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin, Germany, winning a bronze medal. He won the gold medal in the team pursuit at the 2020 Summer Olympics held at Tokyo in 2021, setting a new world record. He was also on the winning team for the team pursuit at the UCI World Championships that year, also taking silver in the individual pursuit. In 2022, Milan won silver medals at the World Championships in both the team and individual pursuit, followed by a silver and bronze medal in 2023, respectively.

### Road

Milan rode for Cycling Team Friuli as an under-23 rider in 2019 and 2020, and was crowned the 2020 national under-23 time trial champion.
In 2021, he stepped up to the World Tour, joining Team Bahrain Victorious. The following season, he won his first pro road races, taking two stages of the CRO Race. He took an early season win in 2023 on stage two of the Saudi Tour, before competing in the Giro d'Italia in May, his first Grand Tour. Milan won the stage two sprint, going on to finish second on four more occasions. He ultimately won the Points classification ahead of Derek Gee. He ended the year at the Tour of Guangxi in October, where he won the second stage.
In February 2024, Milan won stage 3 of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, his first race of the season. He then won two stages of Tirreno–Adriatico in March. This was followed by a campaign in the spring classics, where he finished in 5th in Gent–Wevelgem and 7th in the Dwars door Vlaanderen. His next race was the Giro d'Italia for the second year in a row, where he again saw success early on, taking second on stage three before winning the following day.

## Personal life

He is named after the seagull in Richard Bach's novella 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull,' which his mother read during her pregnancy.
