Egan Bernal resumes competitive racing at the Vuelta a Burgos after a two-month break. Previously, he participated in the Giro d'Italia, achieving seventh overall. Following the Giro, Bernal rested for ten days in Europe before returning to Colombia for training. His goals at Vuelta a Burgos include regaining racing rhythm and evaluating fitness levels for the upcoming Vuelta a España. He expresses a desire to win but acknowledges uncertainty after an extended time off from competition. Bernal's preparation focused on building endurance before increasing intensity and fine-tuning for the Grand Tour events.
"Very well, I think the preparation has been great," he told AS. "After the Giro, I rested for ten days here in Europe, then I came back to Colombia and again started to build the base and the usual preparation for a Grand Tour."
"Obviously, I'd like to be in front to try and win the race, I think that's important. After a long time without competing, you don't know if you're going to be there or not."
