The reigning Giro d'Italia champion, Egan Bernal, was recorded, by friends and followers, riding bikes on the roads of the savannah. After two months of having suffered a major accident, which almost left him without life, the Colombian takes his first pedals.

Through social networks, some netizens published a video showing that the Zipaquireño went out to do a little training accompanied by some friends, his mother and girlfriend María Fernanda Manotas, who were wearing the Ineos shirt.

Bernal's heavy accident saddened the whole world, as the Colombian was at his best. At first it was thought that the leader of Ineos would not touch a bicycle again in a year, but his rapid recovery has shown that he will be ready to compete again in less time than expected.

In fact, a few days ago, the 25-year-old cyclist wrote on his Twitter account “Guess who's on his bike again.” “As long as there is faith, everything is possible. And I want to tell you that when you really want something, there is NO BUT that's worth it,” wrote Egan along with the photograph in which you pose in the INEOS Grenadiers uniform.

In the same way, Bernal has stated that his desire is “to return to my best version, I have faith, I don't know why I think I can do it and I think it will be fast”, as he explained a few weeks ago in an interview with Semana magazine.

Recall that the Zipaquirá rider, on February 6, who was discharged, began with a recovery process in which he has shown great progress. So much so that his team announced that he will be taking part in a virtual training session in which some fans of this team will also be able to participate.

“This accident has been the biggest test of my life and getting back on a bike is something I've been dreaming about in recent weeks (...) I have missed the fans a lot and that is why I invite them to join us in this virtual training”, confessed Egan Bernal in statements to the media of his team.

On the other hand, a couple of weeks ago, therapist Dayana Tovar, a specialist at the Colombian School of Rehabilitation (ECR), said that Egan was on track to recover his physical tonality, although she estimated his return for next year. After the first phase, which corresponds to physical rehabilitation, Egan would be ready to resume some exercises.

“The second phase is retraining, to which the coach will join. After this work, the fruit of the process is collected and Egan's motivation for his recovery, the knowledge and commitment of the entire rehabilitation team will be vital. We could see it in 2023 on the roads of the world,” he said in statements collected by the portal 'Colombia.com. '
