Overview

• Nicolas Prodhomme broke clear on the fourth climb and soloed to victory on Friday’s 166 km Biella–Champoluc route featuring nearly 5,000 m of ascent.
• A second-place finish earned Del Toro valuable bonus seconds and maintained his 43-second overall advantage over Richard Carapaz.
• Carapaz launched a late attack with 6.8 km remaining but Del Toro matched his move and then out-sprinted him to the line.
• Simon Yates lost 22 seconds on the day and now sits third, 1 minute 21 seconds behind the leader.
• Stage 20 spans 205 km from Verres to Sestriere and includes a beyond-category gravel ascent of Colle delle Finestre that could decide the Giro winner.
