Egan Bernal’s Impressive Comeback in Tour de France: A Great Leap Forward
Egan Bernal, the 2019 Tour de France winner, has been making waves in the 2024 Tour de France with his recent performances. His power data for the ascent of the Col du Galibier on stage 4 showed that he is in top form, even better than when he won the Tour de France in 2019. While he finished 13th on the same time as other top riders, he still has some ground to cover to reach the absolute best.
Since then, Bernal has shown consistency in his results and performances. He finished 36th in the stage 7 time trial, stayed with the main bunch of GC favorites in the challenging gravel stage at Troyes, and was 4:39 down in the tough Lioran stage. Currently, he is placed 15th in the Tour de France GC standings at 10:18.
Alasdair Fotheringham, a seasoned cycling journalist, has been following Bernal’s journey closely. He has covered every Tour de France since 1992 and has a wealth of experience in reporting on various cycling events. In addition to Cyclingnews, he has contributed to publications like The Independent, The Guardian, ProCycling, The Express, and Reuters.
Bernal’s performance in this year’s Tour de France is a testament to his talent and determination. As the race unfolds, cycling fans can expect to see more exciting moments from this young Colombian rider. Stay tuned for updates on Bernal’s progress and other highlights from the Tour de France.
