Egan Bernal went to the Dauphiné with the aim of taking another step on his way back to the first level. Although he will make a decision regarding the Tour after this week, he came out of stage 5 stronger today, especially for what he demonstrated near the end.

“I felt good, I had strength. I lacked self-confidence, I was afraid to push and explode, ”acknowledged the Colombian, speaking of the moment he broke away from his rivals when they were chasing Vingegaard. “I am very happy, but I go day by day. It’s like it’s new to me,” he added.

“I was a bit surprised to be ahead. I continued at my pace when they attacked, ”he commented on the situation in the port, when Carapaz and the Tour champion launched their offensive. “I did well”, was the final balance of Bernal, now 19th at 3:06 behind the leader.
