The UAE Tour 2025 will play a significant role in professional cycling as it marks the first time in five years that sprinters compete for the Tour de France yellow jersey. After winning two stages, Jonathan Milan has emerged as a leading sprinter, displaying talent against prominent competitors like Tim Merlier and Jasper Philipsen. Milan's victory on stage 4 highlighted not only his strength but also the importance of teamwork, as his lead-out rider was pivotal in securing his win by a narrow margin in a tense photo finish.
"I think I started a bit too early but in the end, this throw of the bike here and photo finish makes me win," said Milan post-stage.
"No, I did not know, I was thinking because I saw Merlier coming up on the left side really, really fast. I was waiting for the photo finish results and then they told me on the radio that we won."
