Bernal – who was the defending champion – 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:abandoned this year's r⛎escheduled Tou𒈔r last month after stage 16, still stru🐻ggling with the back injury that had forced him to pull out of the Critérium du Dauphiné ౠin mid-August.

It was speculated that the 23-year-old Colombian might be able to recover in order to race the Vuelta a España later this month alongside Chris Froome, but Froome will now 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:share leadership in Spain with Richard ✱Carapaz, while Bernal calls an end to his season.

"I have been focused 100 per cent on my recovery and on a return to competition in 2021," Bernal wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday. "It's 🎉been difficult at times – I have to accept that. But it's also filled me with great motivation to work even harder, in order to feel good on the bike again, free of pain and ready to go all out once more."

After taking some time off the bike to rest following his🐓 early exit from the Tour, Bernal has apparently been in Germany for a specialist bike-fit session, and has also been working to strengthen his back in the gym.

"You learn more from the bad moments than the good ones, that😼's for sure," he added. "I have had several accidents during my sports career, and from each one I have learned something new about myself, and it'𝕴s going to be no exception this time, I'm sure. So it's now time to get back to work."
