last chance in the high mountains for Thibaut Pinot and the favourites… Stage 19 to follow

The most beautiful and the most feared. With 183 kilometers and 5,400 meters of elevation gain Between Longarone and the Trois Cimes de Lavaredo, the 19th stage of the Giro will allow the leaders of the general classification to explain themselves on Friday 26 May. After remaining passive for the first two weeks, the favorites have started to take risks in the last few days, and have the opportunity to create significant gaps with two games to go in Rome.

The last 130 kilometers through the Dolomites will not count flat meters, with five climbs that will follow each other without respite. The group will go to the rhythm the passes of Campolongo (4 kilometers at 7%), Valparola (13.3 kilometers at 5.9%), the famous Giau (9.9 km at 9.3%) and Tre Croci (7.9 km at 7, 2%), before ending with the legendary Trois Cimes de Lavaredo.
