At the height of stage 19, Nairo Quintana wore the pink jersey of the 2014 Giro d'Italia, the Colombian had taken the lead of a big one for the first time after a controversial queen high mountain stage, where there was talk of an alleged neutralization, controversy still discussed by the cycling fan, but that the organization resolved by saying that they never officially neutralized the race. That May 30, 2014 was a time trial where Quintana was the leader by 1:41 against Rigoberto Uran, previous holder of the rose. An expected stage, a battle to find out who was really worthy of the leadership.
The protagonists already in the race, Nairo Quintana in pink, Fabio Aru, an Italian star who was beginning to shine, and Rigoberto Uran, who had been second in the Giro the previous year, was looking to take the pink, Uran made the best time in the first 8 km, which were flat, almost 20 seconds better than Nairo, but the battle would be in the remaining 18 km on Monte Grappa, an endless ascent with an average gradient of 8%. At the beginning of the port, most of the cyclists changed their bicycles, some the helmet as in the case of Nairo Quintana, it is necessary to change to face such a long climb.
