Lidl-Trek's Giulio Ciccone tried and was denied once again to win a Giro d'Italia stage on stage 19, spending a long time in a strong break and going solo onto the final climb, only to be caught and passed by stage winner Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) in the final three kilometres.

Ciccone wore the pink jersey early in this Giro, but has yet to win a stage outright, coming close similarly on stage 9 when he was caught with 1.7km to go on the Corno alle Scale. He's been in multiple breakaways on stages 14, 16 and 17, and other times stopped from even going in the break.
