Nairo Quintana (Movistar) won the uphill stage 19 time trial at the Giro d’Italia on Friday.

The Colombian padded his overall lead in the race with two days remaining after finishing the 26.8-kilometer route with the top time. Fabio Aru (Astana) was 17 seconds behind Quintana in second, while Rigoberto Uran (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took third at 1:26.

Quintana now leads Uran by 3:07 and Aru by 3:48 in the GC standings.

The Giro picks up with Saturday’s stage 20, a brutal day of climbing that finishes with the Cat. 1 ascent of the famed Monte Zoncolan. The race ends Sunday in Trieste.
