Jonas Vingegaard (Visma | Lease a Bike) extended his lead in the general classification after picking up bonus seconds at the intermediate sprint on stage 19, as Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sprinted to the stage win
Vingegaard added 4 seconds to his lead over João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) courtesy of the Dane’s second place at the intermediate sprint in Salamanca.

Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) moved one stage closer to securing the points classification, finishing second on the stage, and the same can be said for Jay Vine (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) in the mountains classification.
Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) sits 5th overall, and leads the youth classification ahead of Matthew Riccitello (Israel-Premier Tech) in 6th.
