168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Egan Bernal will miss this year’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d’Italia after suffering a brok𝓰en collarbone on Saturday while training. He will underg🎶o surgery on Sunday.

The Colombian was set to lead 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Team Ineos at the Italian Grand Tour after an impressive debut season at WorldTour level in 2018. This spring he took his team’s only WorldTour win with overall victory at Paris-Nice. Te❀🎃am Ineos may now save the Colombian for a three-pronged attack at the Tour de France alongside Chris Froome and defending champion Geraint Thomas.

Team Ineos confirmed the news on Twitter after Cyclingnews first broke the story earlier in the afternoon.

Where this leaves Team Ineos ahead of the Giro is unclear. As well as winning Paris-Nice, Bernal had ဣfinished third in the Volta a Catalunya before running to his native Colombia. He has been there since March and was not set to race until the Giro d’Italia, whic✤h starts in a week.

Team Ineos had looked at sending Geraint Thomas to the race earlier in the year, but he is currently competing at the Tou🔯r de Romandie, and despite his improving form, he is unlikely to want to alter his programme at this stage. Both Thomas and Chris Froome have been preparing for the Tour de France, and at the Tour de Yorkshire the team were uncertain as to whether a new GC leader would be selected from the remaining Giro d’Italia roster.

The team do not possess a plan B or a rider of Bern𒁃al’s quality that they can swap in on such short notice, but Tao Geoghegan Hart and Pavel Sivakov – both of whom recently impressed at the Tour of the Alps – could be given the chance to ride their own GC races. The team may also decide to concentrate on stage hunting. That said, none of Ineos' remaining Giro line up has ever won a Grand Tour stage.

At the Tour de Yorkshire, the news of Bernal’s fate only began to filter through at Team Ineos after the stage. Sports director Servais Knave🥀n had spent the day planning the team’s assault on stage 3, and was obviously disappointed to hear about Bernal’s fall in training.

“That’s not good news," he said. "It’s not nice, and it’s not good. I’ve not heard about it, but otheℱr people might be working on a plan B. We just have to wait and see, but obviously it’s a big shame for Egan if he can’t win the Giro.”

Berna🥀l later took to Instagram, showing him wearing a hospital gown and giving a thumbs-up. The accompanying caption read, "I'll see you soon, my friends. Don't worry – this on🐻ly gives me motivation to train hard for the rest of the season."
