Egan Bernal experienced a significant setback during the Stage 10 individual time trial of the Giro d'Italia, where he crashed early in the race. His fall not only caused physical pain but also led to a substantial time loss, dropping him from seventh to eleventh overall. Despite the adverse conditions affecting all riders, Bernal's frustration stemmed from losing vital time against his competitors. Moving forward, he remains hopeful about his form and the unpredictable nature of the race as it transitions to a tough mountain stage ahead.
In the race of truth, there are always winners and losers - time trials boost some riders' GC hopes and hurt those of others.
The Colombian crashed early in the 28.6km time trial, banging his right hip, but bravely carried on despite shipping more than a minute on the top contenders.
I crashed at the start of the time trial. It was tough... I'm more frustrated about the time I lost.
As we've seen again in the time trial, anything can happen. We're taking it day by day.
