Giro d’Italia 2024 Stage 19 recap: Andrea Vendrame proves strongest of 19-man breakaway

Twenty-four hours before the final GC showdown on Monte Grappa, the Giro d’Italia heads to Sappada via three categorised climb on a day that should suit a big and strong breakaway going the distance. Tadej Pogacar will be on red alert as he takes the pink jersey ever closer to Rome, but despite the history of Sappada – the location of Stephen Roche’s so-called betrayal of team-mate Roberto Visentini – it’s unlikely that we will see any big changes at the top of the standings.
