Bernal is already rather experienced pro despite his young age. It's his fifth season among pros and although he had relatively limited racing schedule at Androni, he was racing against seasoned professionals back then, not juniors or U-23s. He is clearly further forward on his development curve compared to the likes of Pogacar or Sivakov, than one would suggest merely based on their age difference.
Only Evenepoel entered the professional peleton being similarily in his teens. And he is so much younger that the jury is still out concerning his abilities over a three-week tour.
