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.[7] 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.[8] He ended the year at the Tour of Guangxi in October, where he won the second stage.[9]
In February 2024, Milan won stage 3 of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, his first race of the season.[10] He then won two stages of Tirreno–Adriatico in March.[11] 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.
