That's was the tour of Bihor-Belloto he won last year, same country, different race. Last years edition was won by the bulgarian Mikhail Mihalyov
Seems ok. He does need to drop all 2.2 and other no level races though.DNP-Old said:Froome isn't his thing to worry about anyway, since they likely won't cross paths at any time in terms of program. Bernal likes to ride in Italy (Tirreno, Trentino, Coppi e Bartali, Lombardia), which is more the Landa / Thomas territory. With Landa already having one foot out of the door and Thomas hinting to an exit in 2019 as well, Bernal might just be Sky's (co-)leader in those races.
The core of his program shouldn't be much different from this year, except he might ride something like Romandia or Catalunya instead of Langkawi or some other dodgy, no level races.
He has to, since WT riders aren't allowed in 2.2 races afaik.Red Rick said:Seems ok.

Hugo Koblet said: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?
Oh yeah, I know that, I didn't express myself well, I meant joining a WT team at such a young age.deneb said:Hugo Koblet said: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.
