Weather at the city of Udine, which the race route circles, at 1:50 PM, local time: 29C (84F), fair, with the wind from the southwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is just a 6% chance of rain.

Info about the route: A challenging mountain stage, crossing over to Slovenia and closing with a summit finish. Starting in Marano Lagunare, the route cuts across the lowlands all the way to the morainic hills around Fagagna and Majano. The stage course crosses Buja, reaches the Julian Prealps, runs past the Grotte di Villanova (a short but intense climb) and tackles the Passo di Tanamea. The route enters Slovenia through the Uccea pass, leading directly to Kobarid (Caporetto). Here, the peloton will tackle Mt. Kolovrat, ascending at nearly 10% for 10 km (with gradients easing off for a short stretch halfway up the climb). After clearing the Passo Solarie, a long false-flat down leads back to Italy, snaking through the woods. Starting in Cividale del Friuli, the peloton will tackle the closing climb to the Castelmonte sanctuary.

Final kilometers:
The final climb is approximately 7 km long, with a short downhill stretch after 2.5 km. The sharpest gradients (up to 13%) are found at the foot of the climb, and when the road starts to go up again after the fall. The roadway is wide and well surfaced. The home straight is on tarmac road.

The race: Jefferson Cepeda (Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli) did not start. Before the peloton hit the Kolovrat Pass, Richie Porte (INEOS Grenadiers), troubled with stomach problems, abandoned. This deprives GC leader Richard Carapaz of one of his most valuable helpers.

Here's the report from stage winner Koen Bouwman's Team Jumbo-Visma:

Koen Bouwman has scored an impressive double in the nineteenth stage of the Giro d'Italia. The 28-year-old Dutchman won his second stage and secured the blue mountain jersey. If he arrives safely in Verona on Sunday, he will be the first Dutchman to win the Giro mountain jersey.

After the eighteenth stage, Bouwman announced that he would try to get in the breakaway. He kept his word and joined Edoardo Affini in a sizeable leading group. After the blue jersey wearer had already taken the points on the first two climbs, he was also first on the Kolovrat.

On the final climb, five men were left and although there were several attempts, nobody managed to get away. Bouwman was the first to sprint, accelerated shortly after coming out of the corner, and then finished it off.

"This is a dream come true. Winning one stage was already special, but the fact that I have won two now is super special. I have no words for it", Bouwman said. "Before the Giro, I could have never imagined this. I came here as a domestique and now I go home with two stage wins and the blue jersey. Bizarre!"

According to Bouwman, securing the blue jersey was the main goal for today. "With one stage win, the blue jersey would be the icing on the cake. I never thought I would do a double here this morning, although I felt terrific. Edo helped me get into the front group and his hard work gave us a big lead on the peloton. This victory is also his."

Attila Valter tried to prevent a sprint in the final kilometres, unlike Bouwman. "I reacted to every attempt and counted on my sprint. Because I had already won once, I dared to gamble a bit. I knew that there was a left turn just before the finish and that I had to take it first. I did that and fortunately, it proved to be enough."

Bouwman is the first Dutchman to call himself the Giro mountain king and the fourth Dutchman, after Gert-Jan Theunisse, Steven Rooks and Joop Zoetemelk, to take the mountain jersey on a grand tour. "I am very proud to be among them, although it is not a list where I belong, looking at my list of honours. I am thrilled that everything has come together this Giro."

Sports director Addy Engels was delighted. "Since the loss of our classification men, we have ridden very aggressively and this is the result. It has been a very successful Giro."
