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

[Ruudz0r]

He is going to be wearing a lot of these in the next few years (before he goes over to the leaders jersey)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

These Colombians.. Move over Quintana and Lopez, there is a new kid in town

 

[Bushman]

This kid. Holy ****

Would have been around 6-8th in gc if not for the mechanical?

 

[luckyboy]

Would be 10th if he had finished with the Ciccone group on stage 2, 9th if he finished with Firsanov.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Posting in epic thread. This kid is gonna be huge.

 

[Valv.Piti]

The few seconds we really got to see him, I just thought to myself that he looked hella impressive on the bike. A pure climber, lets see if he can do anything tomorrow.

[Red Rick]

Wait

Stop

Hold on

HE'S 19

I'm in

 

[Poursuivant]

I assume he isn't going the Giro? 19 wow

Androni didn't get a wildcard. Nonetheless, even if they did, he wouldn't go. Savio is really protective to him, and doesn't want to rush things. After Trentino, Bernal is off to Madrid.

I see, he is definitely one to watch

 

[Valv.Piti]

Hopefully they will be awarded a wild card for next year's Giro then. That is if Savio wants to give him a go when he is 20

They are at Sibiu, Qinghai and Portugal later in the year. I wonder if Bernal goes to any of them. Qinghai is probably too long though. Portugal would be interesting..

Sibiu could be realistic, as Bernal will ride another race in Romania in May: Tour of Bihor. Other than that, I have no idea what his schedule looks like. Bihor was the last race Savio had mentioned in March.

 

[luckyboy]

Ah yeah I looked at their schedule and thought Bihor would be good with the mountain-top finish.

 

[Guybrush]

one ticket please, today was highly impresive. Huge natural talent

 

[May0maniac]

The guy only started doing more road races in 2015, before that he was a mountain biker, he's got so much potential.

[SafeBet]

Nice video, thanks. Savio said they're working to make him ride Giro 2017. Can't wait!

 

[Forever The Best]

Disappointing today

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

He's 19

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

This kid looks like he is mighty talented indeed.

They've been feeling the Bern already in Trentino

 

[Escarabajo]

Funny thing is that Daniel Martinez is the same age and was placed 2 positions down the GC and is not being hyped nearly as much.
