No one really knows. Bernal gained 32 seconds on him today so making up the 1:30 and maybe a bit more over the next two stages is certainly possible. He's putting up a great fight but there could come a point where he just cracks and then he could lose minutes over a short uphill distance. If he's still got say a minute after stage 19 then I think he will probably hang on. Tomorrow's high altitude will probably suit Bernal.
