Egan Bernal, one of the most outstanding cyclists on the international scene and Tour de France champion, has surprised his followers by sharing in a video the "little tricks" he uses to keep his physique in optimal conditions to compete in the best races in the world. Through his social networks, the Colombian showed part of the treatments and medical care he receives from his team to stay in the cycling elite.
To reach the top of world cycling, not only talent and dedication are required, but also a specialized work team that provides the necessary support to maintain physical and mental performance at its peak. Egan Bernal is aware of this and has shared a glimpse of the 'little tricks' that his medical team uses to take care of his body before, during and after competitions.
Egan's physiotherapist, nicknamed 'Frisvi', was the one who shared some of these procedures on his Instagram account. After several months of intense work to recover the rider of the INEOS Grenadiers team after his fall in La Vuelta San Juan 2023, the physiotherapist showed part of the treatments that have been fundamental for the maintenance of the Colombian cyclist's physique.
This focus on physical care and recovery is of utmost importance for any high-performance athlete who aspires to continue to improve and reach new levels of success. Cycling, like many other sports, has advanced hand in hand with technology and medicine, allowing athletes to have increasingly specialized and effective treatments.
Egan Bernal, who has been an example of dedication and self-improvement in his career, once again shows his commitment to the sport and his desire to share his experience with his followers. It is uncommon for an athlete of his level to openly share the details of his treatments and care, which has been well-received by the cycling community and his fans.
Elite cycling demands a high level of physical and mental demands, and the behind-the-scenes work done by the medical and support team is vital for riders like Egan Bernal to be able to face the challenges presented in top-level competitions.
With his 'little tricks' and the support of a committed team, Egan Bernal continues to be an outstanding figure in the world of cycling and a source of pride for Colombia. His dedication and work together with his team are an inspiring example for athletes and cycling fans around the world.
