A week ago Bernal crashed into a bus, which had parked on the side of the road to drop off a passenger.
The rider was doing his training on the bike against the clock with five other teammates, he did not realize the fact and crashed into the rear.
Since the day of the event, Bernal has been fighting to recover in the best possible way, helped by the doctors at the clinic who accompany him daily in this complicated process.
“Bernal left the surgery room extubated and directly to the Intensive Care Unit for surveillance. The runner woke up without problems”, a source told EL TIEMPO.
