Nicolas Milesi 12th in inaugural time trial

“This was my first time trial of the season, and also my first as a professional. I finished 12th, which enabled me to measure myself against the other riders. The course wasn’t one of my favorites, as it was very technical from the middle of the race. I got off to a good start, and at the end, when I had to push the watts, I was fine. But on the technical part I made a small mistake. I was aiming for a top-10 finish. This 12th position means I’m now ranked overall, which could be a good thing in view of the stages to come.
