Colombian cyclist Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers) will return to competition this Tuesday, eight months after suffering severe injuries after a traffic accident, in a Tour of Denmark where he will begin to feel sensations in the race on the bicycle.

Following a final evaluation over the weekend, the INEOS Grenadiers medical team cleared the Colombian to compete again. “He is delighted to be able to take this important step and line up alongside his fellow Grenadiers tomorrow in Denmark,” the British team added.

For his part, Egan Bernal assured that after what happened to him in January, this is the moment he had been waiting for. “I was looking forward to competing with my teammates again. I can’t stress enough how difficult the last eight months have been for me, both physically and mentally. That day, and the journey I’ve been on ever since, will be a part of me forever, It’s something I’ll never forget,” he said.


Nor will he forget the support received these months. “We really trust each other in our times of need, and this year has been a time of need for me. I can’t thank everyone who has been there for me enough,” he thanked.

For his part, the team’s deputy director, Rod Ellingworth, assured that the progress made by Bernal is “incredible”. “He has shown the world the true strength of his character and has shown remarkable courage to get back to being race-ready,” he said.

“Egan’s long-term recovery has guided and continues to guide our medical and physical support programme: our goals have always been performance-oriented, not race-oriented, and the entire INEOS Grenadiers family is proud and delighted that Egan is back.” , he concluded.
