The current champion of the Giro d’Italia, Egan Bernal, spoke on the afternoon of this Wednesday, May 25, on the electoral situation ahead of the first presidential round in Colombia for the 2022 government term – 2026.
The also champion of the Tour de France in 2019 and idol of Zipaquirá did not hide his support for the candidate Federico Gutiérrez since last Saturday, May 21, when he dedicated a thread to the candidate of the Equipo Por Colombia coalition in the one who sees him as the best option to lead the country in the next four years:
Egan Bernal announced that he will vote for Fico.
Well, , on the afternoon of this Wednesday, May 25, the Ineos Grenadiers runner took the opportunity to reiterate his political support for Federico Gutiérrez with the following message on the social network:
I still believe that @FicoGutierrez is the best option for Colombia. #FICOxColombia would make us feel proud of our country again.

Bernal also took the opportunity to show his followers how he resumed his preparation rhythm to dream of competing at least in La Vuelta a España 2022, the only major European race that the “young wonder” lacks to achieve the triple crown and be the first athlete Colombian to achieve it.
Well, despite the fact that a few days ago Egan released a bleak picture of his return to racing, this Wednesday he showed that he has progressively returned to the physical form necessary to rehabilitate himself and return to the ring fulfilling his contract with the English team Ineos Grenadiers. This is how he tweeted a video in which he is recorded while climbing a slight slope mounted on his pedals with the following message:
Slowly but surely

The following is the video in which Egan appears, four months after the serious accident suffered by the coffee climber when he collided at high speed with a bus on the tracks of Gachancipá, Cundinamarca:

Egan Arley has not been exempt of the controversy and cancellations on social networks due to his political opinions since he recovered from the accident in Gachancipá to date.
The idol of Zipaquirá took advantage of social networks to expose one of his most intimate moments at the sports level after resuming training under the strict surveillance of his Ineos Grenadiers technical directors.
Although it is unknown the location of the training that Egan did this May 25 in a wooded area, the runner has shown that his preferred ways to prepare each season are the Colombian ones.
Both the tweet of support Federico Gutiérrez like the one in the video where he appears climbing on his pedals have not exceeded 10,000 “likes” on the social network. Several people have quoted his words and have replied with rejection and asking him to change his mind with these phrases:
That, climbing to the top in first! – @Shadumita
Put the change well – @Antropofago9
Don’t be foolish. – @RaulGFotografia
Come on Champion… – @MartinVandermar
