Ciao ragazzi! Welcome to live coverage of stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia - the first of three stages that will decide the outcome of the 102nd edition of La Corsa Rosa.

New top 10 as Lopez moves within 26 seconds of Bauke Mollema's fifth place.

Today's stage 19 result...

Lovely scenes as Estaban Chaves celebrates his win with his parents, who have come over especially from Colombia.

Over the finish goes Lopez, who comes home 5'44" down on today's winner Chaves. Roglic leads the others over the line at 6'27". Nibali and Carapaz are there so there won't be any change in the top 10 save for Lopez.

Roglic now attacks! Nibali, Carapaz and Landa close it down. Then the others ride over. Yates is there and another Mitchelton-Scott rider - they'll know that Chaves has won.

No time gaps have been given so we don't know what Lopez's advantage is. He has 800m left. Zakarin is also with the favourites as is another Ineos rider, perhaps Dunbar.

Meanwhile, back with Lopez, and the Colombian continues his solo ride to the line. He'll gain some time back but it won't be enough for any big changes. Behind, the likes of Landa, Carapaz, Nibali, Pozzovivo, Yates, Sivakov, Mollema and Roglic are in the main group of favourites. Carthy, too, who puts in a dig, then Majka has a pop.

The escapees arriving in dribs and drabs. It looks like Carboni was fourth ahead of Bidard and Serry and Canola...

Andrea Vendrame takes second for Androni at eight seconds with Amaro Antunes third a couple of seconds back.

Victory for Esteban Chaves of Mitchelton-Scott! Whatever it was, it's a smile now - relief, glory and that trademark smile!

Chaves starts to smile - or is it a grimace? - as he approaches the finish...

Antunes is the man chasing down the Colombian now, but it's too late.

Under the flamme rouge goes Chaves. With the road now flattening out, the win is surely his.

Chaves has 16 seconds on Bidard, who has Vendrame and Antunes closing in.

ATTACK: Lopez throws down the hammer from the main pack! Landa starts to follow and then sits up when Carapaz doesn't join him. Nibali and Roglic are there with Landa...

Big gap now for Chaves so it looks like Mitchelton-Scott will get their stage win after all.

Another attack from Chaves! This time it looks like he's going to drop the others. Finally he has a gap over Bidard and Serry. He made his move just as Antunes and Carboni were rejoining the leaders...

Chaves, Serry and Bidard lead with 3km to go. Behind we have Antunes and Carboni, who are closing in, while Vendrame and Canola are further back.

Mechanical for Andrea Vendrame! He needs a news to sort out his chain, which has come off, and that's his chances of the win gone!

Carboni and Antunes join the leaders so we now have six out in front.
