Thomas still in the squad loses only three seconds from Roglic

Santiago Buitrago won stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia, from Longarone to the 183km Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
The Colombian from Bahrain Victorious, who was the protagonist of a long escape with other attackers, preceded Derek Gee , in fourth second place in the stage at the Giro, and Magnus Cort Nielsen at the finish line at an altitude of 2,307 metres.
Geraint Thomas remains in the pink jersey: the Welshman defends himself from Primoz Roglic who attacks him only less than 2 km from the finish. The Slovenian recovers only 3 seconds. The Ineos rider remains the big favorite of the pink race on the eve of tomorrow's time trial on Monte Lussari.
