Sepp Kuss won the queen stage 19 on Piani di Pezzè with a devastating late attack. He bridged to Ciccone inside the final kilometer and soloed to victory — his first WorldTour stage win since the 2023 Vuelta, and completing the grand tour trilogy (stage wins in all three GTs). Gee-West took 2nd, Ciccone 3rd after leading for 15 km. In GC, Vingegaard remains in pink at 75:13:16. The biggest surprise: Gall leapfrogs Hindley into 2nd overall at 4:03, with Hindley 3rd at 5:04. Arensman dropped to 4th at 5:33 after losing 1:35. Gee-West jumps to 5th at 6:31. Eulálio (5th to 6th) and Storer (7th) also gain. Only two mountain stages remain before the final time trial.
