Cycling: After the exciting mountain stage on Thursday, the sprinters can hope for a good result again tomorrow. The top favorite is the four-time stage winner Arnaud Démare.
Velomotion Prognosis: Démare sprints to his fifth success
Stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia is one for the sprinters. After the start in Morbegno, there are 258 kilometers to cover, mostly on the flat, to the finish line in Asti. A mass sprint seems inevitable. The sprinter teams will do everything in their power to fight for the victory of the day. However, just like their captains, they have the hard mountain stages in their legs. Some outliers will see this as a reason to try a long escape despite the flat terrain. If it comes to the expected mass sprint in Asti, only can Arnaud Demare be the favorite. The Frenchman has already won four stages and is close to winning the points jersey. In a sprint on the flat, no one can hold a candle to him here at the Giro d'Italia.
☆☆☆ Arnaud Demare (Groupama – FDJ)
* * Peter Sagan (Bora – hansgrohe), Andrea Vendrame (AG2R La Mondiale)
* Davide Ballerini (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), Alvaro Hodeg (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), Elia Viviani (Cofidis)
