The start of the 2023 cycling season is approaching, and once again Colombian cyclists are attracting attention; Well, after a 2022 in which the results of the ‘beetles’ were not the best, expectations are high and there are already lights of the races that they will contest.
In the case of Egan Bernal, after suffering the accident against an intermunicipal bus in Gachancipá (January 2022), he was barely able to return to the competitions on the auction of the year and in neither of the two that he participated in (Tour of Denmark and Tour of Germany). he was able to complete the route, abandoning before the last stage.
But now, with a physical level closer to what he had a year ago, Egan Bernal appears as a great bet for INEOS, and taking into account that the intention is for him to be the leader in one of the three ‘big ones’, it has already been defined the first race to be held in 2023… he will face ‘Superman’ López.
It has been known that Egan Bernal will be part of the INEOS Grenadiers roster for the Vuelta a San Juan 2023, going to Argentine soil in the company of his compatriot Brandon Rivera, the Italians Filippo Ganna and Elia Viviani, as well as the German Kim Heiduk.
Team Medellín, one of the most important cycling teams in Colombia, stirred up the market after announcing the signing of Miguel Ángel ‘Superman’ López, after he terminated his contract with Astana. However, the ambitions of the paisa squad go further and once again they have sought to tempt Nairo Quintana, who continues without making his team official for this 2023.
It should be remembered that the Tour of San Juan -which has not been held in the last two years- will take place between January 22 and 29, consisting of seven stages.
