Egan Bernal continues to impress on his return to the top following that horror injury. The INEOS Grenadiers star battled to a brave 7th overall at Paris-Nice 2024.
“It was a nice week. It was very tough, but it always is in Paris-Nice,” reflected the former Tour de France and Giro d'Italia winner in a post-race interview with his team's social media channels. “The team did very well. I think we were one of the best teams in the race. We should be proud of our achievement. I felt good myself. Today I was better than yesterday.”
On a dramatic final stage, Remco Evenepoel took the win with Matteo Jorgenson securing the overall victory. Bernal meanwhile, came home in 9th, 2:13 down, alongside the likes of Felix Gall and Luke Plapp. Enough to secure 7th overall.
“This gives confidence for the future. It's just the beginning of the season. We have to keep fighting," Bernal concludes optimistically. “Never give up, enjoy everything you do. Thanks for all the support!”

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
