Egan Bernal certain to return to competition at Volta a Catalunya
CyclingMonday, 17 March 2025 at 10:00
Egan Bernal started the 2025 season in an unbeatable way, with a historic double in the Colombian National Championships, winning the time trial and the road race. However, in his first race in Europe, at the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior, he crashed and broke his collarbone. However, a return date is already on the schedule.
It looked like he was going to be out for a long time, and did have to cancel a few races he had planned, but after a few days he was already training and it is with certainty that he will return to competition next Monday, March 24, in the first stage of the Volta a Catalunya 2025. The Colombian rider will be the leader of INEOS Grenadiers in the next Giro d'Italia.
The truth is that since the fall that almost cost him his life 3 years ago we had never seen the rider from Bogota start a season as well, getting on the one hand the jersey of champion of his country and on the other showing incredible legs before suffering his crash on the Spanish gravel race where he was in contention for a top result.
So, according to Marca, Bernal will return in just the space of a week to compete. It is true that we have not stopped seeing him training in social media, from the Alps to Sicily in recent days.

- I once rode on a chainy with Wiggins, that was soo cool, before he won the Tour, he looked like he was in great condition 👍
leedorney01-05-2025 - I think I'm related to Jonas. I'm always scared of descents and crashes during our weekly group rides.Ride197401-05-2025
- This is what happens when your training partner is Pog.....😊
Senna196001-05-2025 - That was nice of Jonas to give this guy a great memory he'll have forever. From this photo it looks like Jonas has some muscle back that he lost last year after his crash, hopefully this means the Tour will be more competitive between him and Tadej.awp01-05-2025
- He and Pogacar both have taken insane risks on descents, particularly in time trials. I have to imagine most cycling fans would be happy to see them back off a bit.
Barney01-05-2025 - Only when the titans collide will it be interesting. MSR, PR,Flanders. LBL there was no competition. TDF Jonas will be thereabstractengineer01-05-2025
- I dont think its just that. It is also that the women's team lacked a serious contender for the Grand tours. Aside from Demi. Lotte, Elisa, kasia there are every few GT contenders for women. Its logical that those who are GT contender would get priority i resources. Someone like Olav is also feeling the same.abstractengineer01-05-2025
- 'The man from Pinto won the Giro on two occasions (in three he went home with the maglia rosa, but one of them was taken away from him because of Operación Puerto)' this is incorrect, Operacion Puerto occurred in 2006, Contador was stripped of the 2011 Giro title due to the clenbuterol case at the 2010 Tour de France.swaithe7101-05-2025
- Only an accident or sickness can prevent Pogi from winning yellow this year - my opinion.Ride197401-05-2025

It will be interesting to see him going against Jonas at Catalunya.
Not only Jonas, Roglic, Ayuso, 2xYates, Carapaz, Mas, Landa, van Eetvelt, Buitrago also have it scheduled. I would be shocked if he can top5 this
Interesting, this is a strong field. Let's see how it goes.
