“As you already know, Rigoberto Urán confirmed to us that he will be at our Gran Fondo in Bogotá. What do you say, are we going to start it here in Patios or in Verjón? You decide,” Bernal said in an Instagram story.
The 27-year-old cyclist wants to take advantage of the fact that his friend and colleague is not very good at the altitude of Bogotá. “He doesn’t do so well at altitude, so we are going to race at home and challenge him no matter what.”
