Egan Bernal to skip world championships
Tour de France winner Egan Bernal will skip this month’s Road World Championships, the cycling federation in his native
Colombia said on Tuesday, without indicating the reason.
“The talented cyclist of Team Ineos decided to turn down the call-up” for the race in Harrogate, England, the Colombian Cycling Federation said in a statement.
On Monday the Colombian Federation had announced some very big names for the road race which included Bernal.
Several climbing stars were named on on the Colombian roster (including Bernal), including Nairo Quintana, Esteban Chaves, and Daniel Martinez. Even lots of uphill firepower, sprint headliner Fernando Gaviria is also someone likely to shine in the lumpy circuit race in Yorkshire.
