In recent days, Egan Bernal surprised his millions of followers around the world after posting a photograph on his social networks where he is seen riding an exercise bike. After a month and a half since he suffered the accident, which almost took his life, the Colombian runner made it clear that his recovery is progressing satisfactorily.
This has encouraged some cyclists and cyclists, leaders in the platoon, to send messages of encouragement to the Colombian to complete his recovery in the best way and have him again in the most important races in the world. The most recent speech came from his teammate at Ineos Grenadiers, Filippo Ganna.
Ganna, who recently competed in the Milano-Sanremo classic, also sent a message to the Colombian cycling directives to encourage participation in one-day races, “well, for sure in the future there will be Colombian riders who will do very well in the classics, in fact Egan was third in the Strade Bianche last year, they are good races to follow.” Another of the 'beetles' with outstanding participation in these competitions is the Antioquia Sergio Higuita.
Alberto Contador, the only Spanish cyclist to win the big three stages, believes that Ineos “has to give Carlos Rodríguez opportunities now” as the Andalusian is demonstrating at the start of the season in which “Pogacar is at another level” and the main figures show up to the races in form and to win.
Regarding the Colombian Egan Bernal, recovering from a serious fall that resulted in multiple fractures, Contador was convinced that the winner of the 2019 Tour de France and the 2021 Giro d'Italia:
In the absence of Egan Bernal, the best of its competitors in recent years, Team Ineos Grenadiers gave a glimpse of what his key card will be in the face of the Tour de France, which the Colombian would attend if he had not crashed in Gachancipá.
Rod Ellingworth, the director of the British team, reported that he will bet on Adam Yates as kingpin in the gala round, although the rider who arrived in the squad as one of the renowned signings in 2021 is not dismissing as perhaps expected. He didn't, for example, in the last edition of the Vuelta a España, when he was top 4 in the overall standings:
“Adam Yates will defend the hopes of the INEOS Grenadiers general at the Tour de France. He arrived with the hope of improving his fourth overall position in 2016 and we will work with him to achieve it. He is ambitious and he wants it, so he will go to the Tour with the team at his disposal,” explained the manager in conversation with the CyclingNews portal
