Holy spokes! Pope Francis' Pinarello Dogma F12 gifted by Egan Bernal fails to reach divine auction estimates

After winning the 2021 Giro d'Italia, Egan Bernal took a visit to the Vatican and gifted Pope Francis a custom Pinarello Dogma F12, adorned in the colours of Argentina, the Pope's homeland.
Recently however, we brought you news that the bike had been spotted at an online auction site. Now, that auction has concluded and the final price for the one-of-a-kind Pinarello Dogma F12 has been revealed with the papal state garnering a profit of €14,000 on the item gifted to them by the Colombian climber of the INEOS Grenadiers for free.
Whilst that sounds like a good deal for Pope Francis and the Vatican's financial department, it's revealed by GCN that the €14,000 tally was actually some way short of experts' estimations as they valued the bike at between €25,000 and €30,000.

- 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. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
