Let’s go for this 19th stage

The real start is given for this 19th stage of the Giro which promises to be exciting. From the start with a great battle for the breakaway, and logically also for the stage victory.

12:58 p.m.

Calmejane wants to escape

“It’s a great opportunity,” declared Lilian Calmejane (Intermarché – Circus – Wanty) to Eurosport colleagues

The French in the match for the stage?

The Tricolores could take advantage of this 19th stage to secure a 4th stage victory. We think of Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) and Valentin Paret-Peintre (Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale), already victorious in this Giro, but also of Ewen Costiou (Arkéa – B & B Hotels), the very prominent Finistère for his first big tour.

A non-starter for this 19th stage

The Australian Nick Schultz (Israel-Premier Tech) will not start the stage.

12:49 p.m.

Warm favorites before the explanation tomorrow?

The stage should smile on the adventurers, the favorites should stay warm before the last big mountain stage, tomorrow. Tadej Pogacar (SLO / UAE Team Emirates) is still well ahead of the general classification, ahead of Daniel Felipe Martinez (COL / BORA-hansgrohe) at 7’42” and Geraint Thomas (RU / INEOS Grenadiers) at 8’04” .

12:31 p.m.

Of the expected show today

After yesterday’s transition stage won by Tim Merlier in a sprint, the 19th stage should offer a great spectacle with three climbs in the last 60 kilometers of the stage. The arrival is on a hill, 7 km after the summit of the irregular Cima Sappada (8.5 km at 4.7%) which has passages at 15%.
