Egan Bernal

[portugal11]

Well well well... this kid is tremendously talented BUT he belongs to a italian team so the doping culture must be very present. yesterday, he did 6.3 w/kg, this is a performance for worldtour riders, not for a 20 years old kid who turned pro two years ago

6.3w/kg for 17 mins is very different from even 6w/kg for 30 minutes

Bernal did that last month in the Tour de Haute-Savoie

We are talking about a kid with 20 years old :surprised:
Aru did 6.5 w/kg in PDBF (I know, very different climbs but still is a 15 min effort)

Colombian champ?

Did Uran participate?

Re:

No. And neither did Gaviria or Pantano or Quintana. The rider who came second came 28th in the u23 Worlds TT. It wasn't a heavyweight field (although Lopez was unusually bad)

For the love of God

Egan has shown incredible talent already at his very young age, as opposed to any SKY "engineered" riders suddenly transformed into super riders in no time.

Sadly, Egan is now linked to the SKY doping marginal gains bvllsh!t, which automatically places him in the Clinic territory, even if his natural talent prevails......

I get what you're saying....if only he'd gone to one of the other clean teams...

But seriously dude, there's no need to be sad or angry. You have a choice. You could just put your feet up and enjoy the show, enjoy seeing how the kid develops. Hope he fulfils his huge potential.

That's what I plan to do anyways

It's a personal choice wether or not to let the clinic influence and prejudice how you want to think about things...

Yeah, poor Egan, it's truly sad that when he begins to win GT's and earn millions he can't be happy and enjoy his achievements 'cause Clinicists think he's dirty and don't respect him.

Well, in other words, Egan doesn't give a *** if he's "automatically placed in the Clinic territory".
