Egan Bernal's impressive performance in the Giro d'Italia has rekindled hopes for Ineos Grenadiers as they prepare for the Strade Bianche. His history in off-road racing and recent strong form highlight his capabilities. Dempster, the team's sports director, noted Bernal's successful return after recovering from a collarbone injury, leading to increased confidence. Bernal's prior victories, particularly in 2021's Giro, lay the foundation for optimism as he heads into this challenging stage, aiming to capitalize on his talent in both climbing and gravel racing.
After a fast recovery, Bernal's strong ride on the Tagliacozzo stage has given him a great confidence boost for the upcoming challenges on the strade bianche.
Dempster mentioned that while Bernal faced difficulties post-collarbone injury, his performance during stage 7 of Giro shows that he is regaining his former strength.
