Chris Froome

Chris Froome wins the stage and is the new race leader.

Weather at the finish at Bardonecchia t 1:30 PM, local time: 23C (73F), partly cloudy with the wind from the WSW at 6 km/hr (4mph). No rain is forecast. Sounds like a nice day for a bike race.

The race: This is the 2018 Giro d'Italia's Queen Stage. The "Cima Coppi"—a given Giro's highest climb—is today, the Colle delle Finestre.

158 riders began racing at 11:50 AM. At kilometer 41 both Fabio Aru and Vasil Kiryienka abandoned.

On the Colle delle Finestre, race leader Simon Yates and Domenico Pozzovivo were dropped. The 2018 Giro d'Italia is in play.

Chris Froome went over the Sestriere alone, 2min 41sec ahead of Dumoulin and about 4min in front of Pozzovivo. Yates is well and truly out the back door. Froome is the virtual Maglia Rosa.

Km 175: Chris Froome is alone on the final uphill stretch, 3min 20sec ahead of Dumoulin and Pinot.

The finish: Chris Froome crossed the line alone, three minutes ahead of his nearest chaser to take the stage and the maglia rosa.

Here's the race organizer's stage summary:

The British rider Chris Froome (Team Sky) won solo Stage 19 of the 101st Giro d’Italia, Venaria Reale-Bardonecchia of 185km, attacking on the Colle delle Finestre at 80km from the finish. Richard Carapaz (Movistar Team) and Thibaut Pinot (Groupama – FDJ) finished second and third.

Chris Froome (Team Sky) is the new race General Classification leader, wearing the Maglia Rosa.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner and race leader Chris Froome said: “I don’t think I’ve ever attacked 80km from the finish in my career so far, riding on my own and going all the way to the finish. The team did a fantastic job to set that up for me. First we had to get rid of Simon Yates and then to ride away from Tom Dumoulin. To go from fourth to first, I wasn’t going to do it on the last climb. Colle delle Finestre was the perfect place to do it. Gravelled roads remind me of Africa. There’s another hard day tomorrow but the legs are feeling better and better as the race goes on.”

And here's Chris Froome's Team Sky race report:

A perfectly executed race strategy saw Froome overturn a two minute and 54-second deficit, with his team-mates setting a searing pace on the Colle delle Finestre, laying the foundations for a memorable attack.

Froome’s solo mission saw the gap extend out gradually, with overnight leader Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) distanced and chief rival Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) gradually slipping back over the Sestriere and Bardonecchia ascents.

Chased by a group of Dumoulin, Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Richard Carapaz (Movistar), Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) and Sebastien Reichenbach (Groupama-FDJ), Froome claimed pink on the road ahead of the final first-category peak, as his advantage spun out over three minutes.

After the stage Froome tried to put an incredible day into words: "I don’t think I’ve ever attacked with 80 kilometres to go before like that, on my own, and gone all the way to the finish. The team did such a fantastic job to set that up for me. It was going to take something really special today to first of all get rid of Simon [Yates], then Dumoulin and Pozzovivo. To go from fourth to first, I wasn’t going to do that on the final climb alone, so I had to try something from far out.

"Colle delle Finestre was the perfect place to do it. Gravel roads remind me a little bit of riding on the roads back in Africa. I felt good and thought it was now or never - I have to try.

"There’s a really hard day tomorrow but the legs are feeling good and I’ve been feeling better and better as this race has gone on. Even today out front, I gave it everything, but I also tried to stay within my limits and tried to stay within myself. Hopefully we can finish this off tomorrow."

Froome's exploits also saw him climb his way into the blue mountains jersey, and helped Team Sky solidify their grip on the team classification in Italy.

Froome's team-mates played a key role in turning the race upside down. Early on Sergio Henao and David de la Cruz were piling on the pressure as part of an early break on the Colle del Lys.

The action really ramped up on the early slopes of the Finestre, with Salvatore Puccio and De La Cruz setting a tempo, before Kenny Elissonde ripped the group apart. Shortly after Froome launched his winning move, 80km from home.

After jumping out of the team car, a thrilled Sport Director in Nicolas Portal gave his views. He told Eurosport: "We forget that it’s Chris Froome. We believed it could happen. We’ve been pushing Froomey, he never wanted to stop. He wanted to fight until the end and it shows how strong he is. It’s unbelievable.

"Most of the time we are more defensive because in general we have had the jersey but here we have been in a different situation and he’s needed to build his form because he had the crash and things like this. The way the team executed the plan today and yesterday, we saw a little bit of weakness in some of the GC contenders and the team has been feeling stronger and stronger, Froomey was feeling good as well, so we said all or nothing on Colle delle Finestre. It was unbelievable."
