The accident suffered by the Colombian cyclist Egan Bernal compromised much of the 2022 season, of which the champion of the Tour de France in 2019 and the Giro d'Italia 2021 could completely forget, according to medical assessments.
Dr. Gustavo Castro, orthopedic doctor and traumatologist, explains the scope and severity of the Ineos team runner's injury and what the coming months will be like for his recovery.
Castro has spent much of his professional career treating professional athletes and estimates that Bernal could return to elite competition within a year.
