However, Vingegaard also indicated a secondary ambition.\n\n\"It would be wonderful to see Davide Piganzoli in white after today. That would be something we would be very happy with.”\n\n23-year-old Piganzoli, one of the revelations of this Giro, started stage 19 in eighth overall, and just second in the white jersey classification, 2:17 down on Afonso Eulálio whose led since stage 5. The Italian has been Vingegaard's last man in the mountains where Eulálio has struggled, so Piganzoli's chances are pretty good.",
