Stage 19 unfolded as expected: ending in a massive sprint finish. During the stage, there was a small breakaway, which was consistently controlled by the peloton.
In the peloton, there was a relay of control actions between INEOS Grenadiers, Alpecin Deceuninck, and UAE Team Emirates. All were trying to position their sprinters best for the final sprint.
In the sprint, Alberto Dainese (Team DSM-Firmenich) won Stage 19 of the Vuelta!! In 2nd place was another new sprinter, Filippo Ganna (INEOS Grenadiers), who once again managed to contend in a sprint finish against some of the best sprinters in the professional peloton. Marijn Van Den Berg (EF Education Easypost) secured 3rd place on the podium.
One detail: the green jersey leader, Kaden Groves (Alpecin Deceuninck), crashed 2km before the finish line and couldn’t contest the sprint.
