Second big of the year for Egan Bernal. Actually for the new Egan Bernal. The Colombian cyclist, winner of the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia, continues to find the way after the serious accident he suffered in January 2022 and which came close to costing him more than his cycling career.
The Colombian, a true idol for the coffee fans in Barcelona, attended MARCA at the start of his second Tour of Spain. A special race for a cyclist who is still looking for his way
“I want to feel very useful. I want to feel like I’m contributing and making a difference in the team. I would love to do my best and be in the fight with Thomas and Arensman. Hopefully they can win or be on the podium in the race and be a part of that This team has given me many things and I would like to give them back something of what they have given me,” said the Colombian.
After completing the Tour, Bernal continues to recover his sensations: “Race after race I’m feeling a little better. But I have to have my feet on the ground this season, do a good load of races and training, build a very solid block to see how far does my body reach”.
To touch the sky in yellow in Paris and in pink in Milan… and now help my colleagues. A process that the Colombian goes through with absolute integrity. As he himself states, “he trusts the process.”
“You have to be aware of the reality that I am living, have a lot of patience and believe in the process. That is the key. I already won the race that I had to win. I am here for myself, for my family and because I love this sport. What I’m doing goes beyond winning or not,” adds Egan.
