“Never stop dreaming. Here I am, on my favorite climb giving everything and thinking big with 100% motivation, was the promising message of Egan Bernal. The Ineos cyclist is making a great recovery and in Colombia he is preparing to the maximum to get back in the fight with the great runners.
Ineos has handled everything calmly and although there is great enthusiasm with the champion of the Tour and Giro d’Italia, they don’t want to make any false steps. 2023 could be a great year for Bernal, not only because of what it will mean for him to return to a big one, but also because he is present in the elite of cycling.

His return is one of the most anticipated, in this 2022 he was able to return to competition and showed his importance within Ineos. He was gregarious and sometimes dared to pull the pack.
