Egan Bernal leads strong INEOS Grenadiers lineup at Tour de Hongrie
Cycling
Despite the start of the Giro d'Italia this Saturday, there are other races still taking place in the UCI calendar, such as the Tour of Hungary. INEOS Grenadiers arrives at the Hungarian event with a very strong team led by Egan Bernal who hopes to maintain the good sensations shown in Romandie last week.
The Colombian managed to finish eighth overall after finishing in the same position in the very tough mountain stage that decided the Swiss race. Now, he will arrive in Hungary to try to continue with his good sensations that could end up leading him to be chosen to race the next Tour de France.
He needs kilometers before that after a blank year, which is why he faces an alternative calendar that is very different from what other riders may face, with his Grand Tour participation still uncertain at this point of the season.
Luke Plapp should be the other INEOS man fighting for the overall at the Tour de Hongrie, both being strong contenders for the final win. The team is completed by Michael Leonard, Ecuadorian Jhonatan Narvaez, Ben Tulett and Italian sprinter Elia Viviani.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
