When the Tour de France entourage begins its 17th stage in Grenoble on Wednesday, last year’s winner will not be there. Egan Bernal dispenses with the last 5 stages of the French national tour. He had long had to bury his ambitions to defend his title.
19 minutes behind the leader
The 23-year-old Colombian, who won the Tour de France last year as the youngest rider in more than a century, was only 16th overall, about 19 minutes behind leader Primoz Roglic. Bernal had gotten off to a bad start on this year’s tour and hadn’t gotten his usual performance.
“Of course I didn’t want my Tour de France to end like this. But I agree that given the circumstances it is the right decision for me, ”Bernal quoted in a message from his Ineos team. Bernal will now focus on recovery.
Break instead of Paris
