The wet gloomy Stage 19 start Morbegno. It was important for the race to start from the original start host so the organization could fulfill its contractual obligations. | share this photo |

Shortly after the start and beyond town, Adam Hansen and the race organization negotiate shortening of Stage 19. Mauro Vegni said post-race: "There will be consequences because of the behaviour of the riders." | share this photo |

The riders celebrate cutting the route in half from 250 to 125 km. The Maglia Rosa Wilco Kelderman said post-race: “It's nice to be wearing the Maglia Rosa and all the equipment in pink to go with it. I’m happy with the decision to shorten the stage. Today it was a good day to take things a bit easy. What I need to do tomorrow is to follow the other guys from Ineos Grenadiers. They've showed that they’re strong but tomorrow’s stage is not as hard as yesterday’s. It’ll be a big day but I don’t see it as the biggest fight of my career. I’ll give it everything either way.” | share this photo |

Your Stage 19 winner, Josef ČERNÝ (CZE/CCC): “History won't remember if today was a short or a long stage. I just won a stage of the Giro d'Italia and it was was fantastic to raise my hands up in the air. It's a nice victory. It makes me feel really happy. I enjoyed my time in the breakaway and it was a bit of a lottery to go for the win. I'm glad I still had good legs today after climbing the Stelvio yesterday. It feels good to get a win at the Giro.” | share this photo |
