It seems that Egan Bernal is finally being able to have a bit of continuity in the 2023 season and that is being reflected in his performance and his results. After having completed a great Tour de Hongrie, the INEOS Grenadiers rider faces a new European event at the end of May.
Egan will participate in the Tour of Norway between May 26 and 29. It is a race with short climbs in which the Colombian will be able to continue testing himself and teaching his directors that he can reach the Tour de France in good shape or, ultimately, the Vuelta a España.
After suffering a fall that almost cost him his life at the beginning of 2022, he began this campaign with enthusiasm in the Vuelta a San Juan, but a fall caused him to delay all his preparation for several weeks.
He returned in the Volta a Catalunya, where he also suffered another misfortune. However, since Itzulia everything has gone better for him since he has been able to complete 3 laps in stages. The aforementioned Itzulia Basque Country, in which he dedicated himself to riding at the back of the peloton to pick up the pace.
In his last two races, the Tour de Romandie and the Tour de Hongrie, he has managed to finish in the Top 10. He finished eighth in the tough stage of Thyon 2000 on Swiss soil and in Hungary he has run on offense showing very good feelings. There is no doubt that he is going up.

- Where Merckx just rode every single race he could and won all the time, Hinault won less often (percentage wise) because he was more judicious in what he raced. His palmares are nuts. He had amazing rivals, one to start his career and another to end it in the grand tours. His classics were solid. What sets him apart from Merckx and Pogačar are that he basically dabbled in the classics while the other two love(d) them. I used to compare Pogačar to Hinault for his grand tour record and occasional classics win, until I realized that the comparison was wrong. Pogačar loves the classics - ah, the memory of his reaction to finishing fourth in a 2 person sprint in Flanders in ‘22: utter domination in any one day race since then, even when he doesn’t win. Hinault lived for the grand tours and I don’t think anyone else will ever reach his record. 10 wins in 13 attempts? Good lord. An amazing rider. Wish there was more footage to watch.RidesHills11-11-2026
- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026

It’s not about numbers, it’s about Character. Top 10 en la etapa y la GC que después de todo para mi es una pequeña gran victoria. Mañana última etapa, volvemos a casa y a seguir entrenando.
