Egan Bernal adds Giro d’Italia title to Tour de France win

The Hindu  

Colombian rider Egan Bernal appears to have finally put his back problems behind him as he added the Giro d’Italia title to his Tour de France win on Sunday. So, I think it’s special.” There were hundreds of fans in Milan’s Piazza Duomo celebrating Bernal's victory, many waving Colombia flags and wearing shirts of the country’s football team. Bernal’s team-mate, Filippo Ganna, won the individual time trial despite a late puncture after the Italian’s closest rival, Rémi Cavagna, crashed with about 600 metres to go. “I changed the bike really well, really fast, like a Formula One race, and then when I crossed the line I think, ‘O.K., now will win Cavagna,’ because he’s a really good rider, really good time trial.
