Richard Carapaz (Movistar) sealed victory in the 2019 Giro d'Italia on the final stage, a time trial in Verona. Carapaz lost 49 seconds to runner-up Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) on the day, but held on to win comfortably by 1:05. Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) took third overall - his first GT podium - having overhauled Mikel Landa's (Movistar) pre-stage 23-second advantage to beat the Spaniard by eight seconds.
Chad Haga (Team Sunweb) took the stage victory, the biggest of his career so far, in something of a surprise result. The American beat stage favourite Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Soudal) by four seconds, and had a long, nervous stay in the hot seat as the likes of Roglic raced the course. Campenaerts' teammate, Thomas De Gendt, took third on the day, seven seconds behind Haga.
