Egan Bernal was recently named by teammate Luke Rowe as one of the reasons behind
INEOS Grenadiers' inability to sign top riders to the team in past seasons. The Colombian had won a Tour de France and a Giro d'Italia before he had a serious accident that nearly ended his career and even his life.
Since then he has not shown the same level, although in 2025 he has set himself the goal of trying to complete his set and win the last Grand Tour he is missing: the
Vuelta a Espana. A few weeks ago he underwent back surgery to try to remedy an old pain and optimize his performance levels. At the moment Bernal is in full recovery mode and already thinking about the next season. Although he still can not take to the bike, Bernal is in the gym working out like Rocky Balboa.
