The 24-year-old from Colombia signed a new working paper until 2026. Such long contract periods are rather unusual in cycling. At the same time, Bernal announced his return to the tour, which he won in 2019 as the first South American.
“I left it out for the Giro last year. I’m really looking forward to doing the tour again this year,” said Bernal. In the end, the climbing specialist won the Tour of Italy with ease, despite recurring back problems.
