“There were quite a few falls. We drove on a road that had oil and when it rains, of course, it gets difficult. Luckily, the final decline was neutralized or there would have been more falls, “said Bernal.
He added: “I don’t know how Pavel Sikavok is doing, I hope he’s okay. Normally the first week of the Tour is full of falls, with a lot of stress. The riders come fresh and everyone has the strength to be ahead. ”
Bernal was supported by his companions at all times and he thanked them for this gesture.
“While the Tour is going on, we will see how the competition is going to be presented. What we did was teamwork, they took me, they brought me, they did a good job to protect me “, the Colombian pointed out.
