Mountain, high temperature and sixth Egan post in stage 19
The Colombian Egan Bernal responded well on another day of slopes in the Tour of Italy. He arrived sixth and strengthens among the 10 best in the general.
The high mountain indicates the way to the final goal in Rome. In this high temperature fraction and three consecutive ports, the escape of seven runners began to be reduced by the passage with which the favorites persecuted them.
The Frenchman Nicolas Prodhomme was the only survivor of that adventure and crowned the Joux Col with the Colombians Egan Bernal and Einer Rubio to the wheel of the leaders to 1:37 of the pointer.
For the last final rise with an inclination of 11 percent, another hand to the leader Isaac del Toro and Richard Carapaz was followed at a distance near that top. In that third lot they defended their top 10 of the general.
Prodhomme won solo with 57 -second advantage over the Mexican, his escort of the day. Bernal entered sixth, except for an accident of Giulio Pellizzari in the last curve at 1:22. Einer was tenth with the same time.
Ineos is sixth to 5:13 and Movistar Eighth to 6:39.
Without major differences in the general, everything will be resolved in stage 20, also of pronounced promotions.
The mountain will say goodbye to the competition with another end high on a long day of 205 kilometers from Vers to Sestriere. The passage through the Coppi of slopes of 9.2 percent will be very demanding.
