The peloton is well into the third and final week of the Giro d'Italia, and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) is still looking as strong as ever ahead of the final three days of racing: stage 19, stage 20, and stage 21 into Rome.
After the sprint finish on stage 20 in Padova won by Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep), Pogačar leads the overall classification by 7:42 over Daniel Martínez (Bora-Hansgrohe) and 8:04 over Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers). Meanwhile, Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) sits just outside the podium positions at 9:47.
But as the peloton embarks on the final stages, the roads tilt upward again on stage 19 with a finish just after the category 2 Cima Sappada (7.4km at 6%), finishing at a much more humane altitude compared with the high summit finishes earlier in the week.
Stage 20 will mark the final day for the overall contenders to change their fortunes, going over the Monte Grappa twice (18km at 8%), topping out at 1,668 metres, with a long descent to the finish at Bassano del Grappa.
It's the last big day of the Giro before the sprinters' parade in Rome for the final stage 21.
