The Itzulia Basque Country was a big step forward for Egan Bernal this season. The Colombian cyclist finished 92nd overall, but that's a detail in what is his pursuit of regaining his best form.
After dropping out due to crashes in the previous races he had faced in 2023, the good news is that the INEOS Grenadiers rider was able to complete all six stages of the Basque race and is ready for the next challenges, as he prepares for either the Tour de France or Vuelta a Espana this summer.
In fact, his numbers in the Itzulia were also improving, from finishing below the top 100 in the first four stages to finishing 72nd in the penultimate and 59th in the last stage. These numbers are not up to his standards, but they are encouraging for the near future.
After the Basque race he commented the following: "I leave with one more point, " hinting that his form is progressing well. Now it is planned, if nothing goes wrong, that the next race that the Colombian rides will be the Tour de Romandie from April 25. His compatriot Daniel Martinez will also start. In the coming two months it will be seen, according to his form, what his goals will be.
