Froome took the stage (his first ever Giro stage win) and Yates came second, adding a further 31 seconds to his lead over Tom Dumoulin. The current standings as of yesterday: 1. Simon Yates - 61:19:51 2. Tom Dumoulin - 1:24 3. Domenico Pozzovivo - 1:37 4. Thibaut Pinot - 1:46 5. Christopher Froome - 3:10 6. Angel Lopez Miguel - 3:42 7. Richard Carapaz - 3:56 8. George Bennett - 4:04 9. Pello Bilbao - 4:29 10. Patrick Konrad - 4:43 Yates mentioned the other day that he would need a 3 minute lead over Dumoulin going into the time trial on Tuesday, meaning would would need a minute and a half today as tomorrow is a rest day.

As of yesterday, Yates was ahead of Dumoulin by about half a minute but today Yates is currently 16 minutes behind Froome on stage 19! If he wins, he will become the first British rider to win the Giro and the seventh to win all three Grand Tours.

Crazy to think that this time last week he was basically out of contention but yet another example of him bring the greatest British cyclist of the decade
