After a long day in the breakaway on stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia, Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale) climbed to a solo victory on Friday in Champoluc.
Despite a late GC skirmish on the slopes of the final climb - initiated by Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) - the Frenchman held on for a maiden stage win, finishing a minute ahead of Carapaz and Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG).
