00:00Nico Dens comes to Italy and does it again. A hat-trick of victories for the popular German.
00:06Red Bull border handscorer salvage something from the Giro and Dens does it again.
00:12Stage 19 then and the first of two massive days in the Alps to determine the outcome of the Maglia Rosa.
00:19A total of five classified climbs along the way from Biela to Champaluc in the Valle d'Aosta.
00:26A real test of GC credentials for not just Isaac del Toro but all the other riders looking to make strides in the general classification or to ride perhaps for a stage win.
00:36Egan Bernal in good spirits, Derek G looking to consolidate his high standing in the general classification starting the day in fourth place.
00:45A reshuffling on GC very much likely as Isaac del Toro looking confident the Maglia Rosa the first of two big days to defend that jersey.
00:54Kilometre zero then saw the flag drop and the attacks eventually came when we hit the first classified climb of the day.
01:03Georg Steinhauser teasing out a powerful group of four riders including Bart Lehmann and Matteo Catanio as well as Nicola Prodom from Decathlon AG2R.
01:15It was Catanio who powered them on towards the top of the first climb of the day.
01:22As behind the pressure was still on four riders in a stage like today not enough for a big breakaway.
01:27Georg Steinhauser led them through the first intermediate sprint with Maz Pedersen sprinting to pick up one point in the Maglia Ciclamino in fourth place.
01:35And then a big counter-attack driven on by Chris Harper as a group of over 30 riders eventually got clear heading towards the first Cat 1 climb of the day.
01:46Maz Pedersen also involved doing what he could to keep the momentum of the big breakaway group moving as UAE controlled behind and the gap grew to very nearly three minutes.
01:56Christian Scaroni took the first maximum 40 points at the top of the first Cat 1 climb.
02:00And then Alessandro Tornelli picked up the second and final intermediate sprint.
02:10Onto the second Cat 1 climb of the day then and the big breakaway group at the front of the race started to splinter.
02:16Meanwhile Red Bull Border Hansgrohe took up the pace setting behind in the group of favourites to try and set things up for Giulio Pellizzari.
02:24After Red Bull Border Hansgrohe chewed through their resources at the front of the race there was a very select group of
02:30no more than half a dozen riders heading towards the top of the climb and behind Isaac del Toro was following the pace setting of Visma Lisa bike and of Israel Premiotech.
02:40Nicola Prodon then went over the top of the second Cat 1 climb of the day in the company of Carlos Verona.
02:46That group though would come together on the descent again as they opened up a lead of 27 seconds over the chasers.
02:53And it was Carlos Verona and Antonio Tiberi in the white of Bahrain victories who went through the Red Bull kilometre in first and second place.
03:01Nicola Prodon then alive to the danger that those two riders represented counterattacked from the chase group,
03:08got across to the front and put Antonio Tiberi temporarily into difficulty.
03:12Those three riders then were together until 28 kilometres to go when Nicola Prodon attacked and was never seen again.
03:19instantly growing his advantage. UAE Team Emirates piloting the Malia Rosa to deter attacks and Nicola Prodon building up a big lead over the rest.
03:29Carlos Verona and Antonio Tiberi back in the remains of the peloton being driven on by Rafa Maica.
03:35And Richard Carapaz attacking with Simon Yates and Isaac del Toro but unable to shake them off.
03:41Nicola Prodon over the top of the final Cat 1 climb of the day.
03:44the Col de Jou in first place with a healthy advantage of over a minute to the Malia Rosa group.
03:50On to the final categorised climb of the day, the Cat 2 climb.
03:54And close to the top, Richard Carapaz tried again to shake Isaac del Toro.
03:57This time Simon Yates and Derek G unable to respond.
04:01Del Toro then straight onto the wheel of the Ecuadorian.
04:03And those two riders going clear and building up a lead over all the other GC favourites.
04:08Carapaz not looking round and not getting any help from Isaac del Toro.
04:12A counter-attack from Giulio Pellizzari of Red Bull Border Hand Square.
04:15Too little, too late from the Italian climber.
04:18Derek G bringing him back.
04:20Meanwhile at the front of the race and over the final climb of the day,
04:23Nicola Prodon had a lead of over a minute.
04:26And pretty much secured his victory in that moment.
04:29The best holding off a GC chase to boot as well over a monster climb.
04:35Climbing day of nearly 5,000 metres.
04:37Three Category 1 climbs and a testing descent after the last Cat 2 climb of the day.
04:43Prodon, a winner at the Tour of the Alps a few weeks ago.
04:46This is the Giro d'Italia.
04:48This is the biggest stage of his career.
04:50And he's done it.
04:51Prodon the victor of stage 19 of the Giro.
04:55Emptying himself, but delighted with his achievement.
05:05The winner of stage 19, Nicola Prodon.
05:07In second place then, the battle for the bonus seconds.
05:10With Isaac del Toro comfortably taking second place ahead of Richard Carapaz in third.
05:14Then Giulio Pellizzari overcooked the final corner in the chase behind.
05:19As the rest of the favourites finished in the same time.
05:21Conceding seconds to Richard Carapaz and Isaac del Toro, who is one big step closer to the Malia Rosa in Rome.
05:29Nicola Prodon then onto the top step of the podium as a stage winner.
05:34Triumphant result for the Frenchman from Decathlon Ejitoire.
05:3858 seconds, his margin of victory ahead of del Toro and Carapaz in the end.
05:42And the Malia Rosa taking another giant leap towards securing the overall win of the Giro d'Italia.
05:49Moving to 43 seconds ahead of Carapaz.
05:52And Carapaz, his biggest rival now, Simon Yates, over a minute 20 down.
05:56The Malia Ciclamino, Maz Pedersen, still with a massive lead.
06:00Unassailable control of the points competition.
06:02And Lorenzo Fortunato mathematically secured the jersey today in the King of the Mountains competition.
06:08His nearest rival, Cristian Scaroni, with no longer enough points to threaten his team.
06:39Cond принципе, with no longer implications forBOX, Nick of the tagline.
