Teams & Riders The official Egan Bernal is the new Egan Bernal thread

Re:

He's still only 20. He just turned pro absurdly early. If Androni were invited to the Giro this year he would've been there, which would be too early imo

Could see him at the Vuelta next year.

If Bernal immediately responds to their training regime which very well could be since Savio raced him hard as well, I wouldn't be surprised if Sky even brings him to the Giro. There, he could be the annual guy that saves their Tour of Italy with the blue jersey once again.

Froome has confirmed his arrival at Sky: “No conozco a Egan Bernal, pero sé que es un corredor muy fuerte y con un gran futuro. Estoy muy contento de su fichaje por el Sky”

Does Froome speaks Spanish?

No idea.

Pretty sure Froome speaks Spanish and a bit of French.

I love Bernal's style on the bike: well composed, very fluid & how he's a bit of a grinder, rather than a spinner.
He's at 20 Y.o. without a doubt the most exciting promising cyclist in coming years IF SKY nurtures him proper....... That's my greatest concern about Bernal joining them, well knowing how the British team is ALL for UK riders while the foreigners get the left overs......

Also Swahili no?

I have no idea. I do know he speaks a few words of Zuid-Afrikaans though.

Re:

Usually I think it's a good idea that neo-pros don't ride a GT in their first pro year, but in Bernal's case I think he could do it. Not that it will happen if he joins Sky though. What racing schedule would you like to see him do next year?

Mallorca, Abu Dhabi, Paris-Nice, Basque Country, Alps, California, TDS, Poland, Vuelta.

I saw that on tv. He used a mix of Italian and very basic Spanish.

He speaks enough Italian to curse at Spanish motorbikes...

yes, that as well

And he must speak quite a bit of Afrikaans as well. (It was mandatory in all South African high schools)

Quite a polyglot he is then. I saw him speaking French during Tour de France team presentation once and he also seems to have a basic knowledge of Afrikaans.
