The setbacks for Egan Bernal continue at this start of the season. The Colombian continues to suffer from knee pain as a result of a fall in San Juan that had already deprived him of competing in the Nationals of his country and, since he is not 100% recovered, he will postpone his premiere in Europe that was agreed in the Tour of Andalusia.
The Andalusian round was a good point of measurement of his physical condition when competing with cyclists of the caliber of Tadej Pogacar, Enric Mas or Mikel Landa. Now this will no longer be the case and he will have to wait for his return until Paris-Nice, which initially remains on his calendar, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The symptom is not good, since initially it was a “simple” ailment, as stated by the INEOS inmate, who insisted a few days ago that his absence in the Colombian Nationals would not alter his schedule in the old continent. Well, now you can see how the plans are changing for someone who aspires to compete again for the general classification of the Tour de France.
