Andrea Vendrame won stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia, a 157k ride from Mortegliano to Sappada, after breaking away from the leading group and going solo for the last 30k to give his team Decathlon–AG2R a second stage win.
As the weather got worse and rain started to fall, Vendrame took the brave decision to break away from the group on the descent and the Italian put some distance between himself and the chasing pack.
The 29-year-old had last won a Giro stage in 2021 and he crossed the line with one arm raised in the air, with Pelayo Sanchez finishing second nearly a minute behind while stage 17 winner Georg Steinhauser was third.
