Egan Bernal may have been missing from
the pro peloton in Europe in recent weeks but he’s still doing plenty of
training.
Having returned home to Colombia shortly
after he won the Tour de France in July, the 22-year-old remains in his home
nation.
However, he’s getting ready for an end
of season period of racing which will include the World Road Championships in
Yorkshire.
That event will be his first time racing
in the UK. And he is also expected to ride other events before season end,
including a possible tilt at the Tour of Lombardy.
If his latest Strava data is anything to
go by, he’s taking a very serious approach to preparing for racing in the weeks
ahead.
