Another day in pink for Bernal.
Egan Bernal's comments following stage 19...
"I felt really good and I think that I did really good numbers and a really good climb. I’m happy with my climb. Of course, Yates was the best today. I’m really happy with my condition.
"Yes, [tomorrow] I hope to have the same legs as today.. Today felt good and tomorrow, with the altitude, I hope to have the same feelings as today, and try to manage the gap that I have with the two guys on the podium. I hope I will be in pink after tomorrow, too.
"Yes, I’m really happy. I have some time to play, so I just want to have legs for the time trial, too, and everything should be ok if I’m feeling good."
Here's what Yates had to say after the finish...
"I’m really happy and my team did a fantastic job today; controlled at the start, worked a lot, and I managed to finish it off, so I’m really happy.
"I saw the boys from Ineos happy to ride a tempo from behind. I had a feeling they would let me go today. I read something from Egan on Twitter about how they would be more conservative rather than control and try to go with me. I had a feeling they would let me go, and as soon as I attacked, I saw that was correct and I tried to ride full gas, and that was it.
"I tried to do my best today. It was not the most difficult of stages, but a very difficult final climb. Tomorrow is very different, and a very hard stage, back in the high altitude. We will see what I can do. I’m just doing my best at the moment and happy with the stage win."
Bernal chasing in the final kilometres of the climb.
Yates said he had a feeling Ineos would let him go and ride conservatively today.
A shot of Yates celebrating his stage win.
Bernal and Martínez set up face to face on their turbo trainers, having a debrief as they warm down.
2:29 between Bernal and Caruso after stage 19. Yates is a further 20 seconds back. I don't think there has been any GC movement among the top 10.
A modest swing from Bernal to Yates, then. The Briton looks good to take second place tomorrow, but if he wants to take the overall victory he'll have to go very long. That seems like a long shot given his team strength.
Carthy, Bardet and Foss finish 1:26 down.
Martinez next. Not huge time gaps.
Caruso and Vlasov finish around 9-10 seconds later. Dan Martin next across the line.
Maglia rosa Egan Bernal takes third. He has lost 28 seconds to Yates (plus a difference of six in bonus seconds).
João Almeida (Deceuninck-QuickStep) takes second place, 11 seconds down.
Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) wins stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia atop the Alpe di Mera!

1km to go
16 seconds now between Yates and Bernal-Almeida.
We have no idea how far back Bardet, Martinez, Vlasov and Carthy are. Almeida could be making up a few places here today.
The final kilometre is still just over 10 per cent in gradient.
1.5km to go
The gaps aren't changing. 18 seconds between Yates and Bernal-Almeida. 12 more back to Caruso.
Bernal has that steely look of pain/determination in his eyes.
Yates with reflective shades on... Who knows?
30 seconds between Yates and Caruso.
Caruso will be on the defensive again tomorrow – he's just 1:02 down on Yates on GC. A podium place will still be an amazing result for him, though.
2km to go
Yates passes the 2km banner. Still double-digit gradients here.
All in hand for Bernal, so far.
Bernal and Almeida 18 seconds down, Caruso next a few seconds back, then Vlasov, who is gone.

Still Martinez, Bernal, Caruso, Almeida and Vlasov chasing. 22 seconds now.
Martínez has closed to 25 seconds behind Yates.

One kilometre to the start of the climb.
All eyes are on Bernal and Yates (and Caruso), but you'd expect something big from João Almeida here, given how much work Deceuninck-Quickstep have put in so far.
45 seconds for the break now.
Here's a look at today's final climb. It's steadier than Sega di Ala, and also shorter and less steep, too.

The break's advantage is down to a minute now.
QuickStep, Ineos and Bahrain all lined up at the front with a BikeExchange's Cam Meyer on the front.
De Bondt is back in the peloton and riding on the front for some reason...
21km to go
The break is 11 kilometres away from the start but the road is rising all the time.
Not much likely to happen before they hit the slopes of the Alpe di Mera now. It's a waiting game ahead of the climb to the finish.
The break still has 1:20 but that advantage will dissolve on the day's final climb. Deceuninck-QuickStep continue to push.
A shot of the peloton passing Lake Maggiore earlier on.
Deceuninck-QuickStep are once again pushing it on the descent. 1:10 to the break.

81km to go
Christian led Venchiarutti over the top. Four minutes back to the peloton.
Nobody ini the break is a threat for the maglia azzurra – Aleotti and Hermans lead the way with three points to their name.
It's a pretty long climb but the gradient is not steep. The break are close to the top and still all together.
BikeExchange continue to control the peloton here. Ineos and Bahrain Victorious lie just behind them.
None of the men in the break are even in the same time zone as the riders at the top of the general classification.

100km to go
The break reaches the final 100 kilometres of the stage now. They're on a descent before hitting the climb of the Alpe Agogna.
The break are nine kilometres away from the first climb of the day at Gignese now. That's the climb that was substituted in for Mottarone.
110km to go
45 seconds to Riesebeek, 1:40 to Zoccarato, 3:30 to the peloton. It doesn't look like the chasers will make it across...
Riesebeek 30 seconds down on the break, Zoccarato (Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè) 1:30 down, and the peloton three minutes down.
Team BikeExchange controls the peloton.
The average speed so far has been just over 51kph. A very fast start.
Runner upon stage 15 Oscar Riesebeek (Alpecin-Fenix) is also chasing the break – he's not far behind them.
A Bardiani rider is trying to bridge now. 1:20 is the gap so that is our break today.
This could be the move to go, after 46 kilometres of racing...
Larry Warbasse (AG2R Citroën), Mark Christian (Eolo-Kometa), Giovanni Aleotti (Bora-Hansrohe), Andrea Pasqualon, Quinten Hermans (Intermarché-Wanty Gobert), Nicola Venchiarutti (Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec) have 20 seconds.
Pasqualon involved in the lastest move now. A small group clipping off the front.
128km to go
Still no break at the moment. A group of GC men are chatting amongst themselves towards the rear of the peloton.
Now that group has been caught and the battle continues.
137km to go
Just 10 seconds at the moment.
That group has a small gap on the peloton, but things are still going very fast here.
De Bondt is out front as the riders reach Novara. He's out there with Alpecin-Fenix teammate Louis Vervaeke, Androni's Eduardo Sepulveda, Astana's Fabio Felline, and Wanty's Andrea Pasqualon.
Pretty much every team – bar Ineos – has been trying to get men up the road.
We're 20 killometres into the stage now and still no group has made it away.
And now that quite large group has been brought back.
BikeExchange have Chris Juul-Jensen in the move, so that's maybe why Ineos are leading the chase. There are no other danger men in there.
150km to go
Dries De Bondt (Alpecin-Fenix) frantically signalling for the riders he's attacking with to get working. They don't have much of a gap to the peloton, though. Ineos chasing the group down.
159km to go
No move is away yet. Still riders try to go.
He's brought back and now more men attempt to get away. There's no separation from the peloton at the moment, though.
Moschetti is from Milan, not far from the start today, if you're wondering why a sprinter is on the attack...

166km to go
And they're off! Attacks from the very start..
The peloton have set off from Abbiategrasso, meanwhile. They're riding through the neutralised zone now.
Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec have lost their first rider of the Giro. 22-year-old Ecuadorian talent Jefferson Cepeda has left the race. He impressed at the Tour of the Alps, finishing fourth, but has found it tougher going over the past 18 days.
Stage 8 winner Victor Lafay (Cofidis) has also left the race today.
With Peter Sagan all but certain to win the maglia ciclamino on Sunday, Bora-Hansgrohe and Specialized have today unveiled a new paint job for his bike. Check it out below.

A look at the new route map, which takes in the fourth-category Alpe Agogna instead.
The stage has been altered from the original route, of course. The peloton were due to tackle the Mottarone climb near Lake Maggiore, though RCS Sport took the decision to cut the climb following the tragic cable crash crash on the mountain which killed 14 people on Sunday.

Today's stage is the latest showdown in the GC battle, with maglia rosa Egan Bernal looking to defend his jersey against the resurgent Simon Yates. The big question to be answered is: was the Colombian's jour sans on Sega di Ala a one-off, or the first signs of his back trouble returning?
