Egan Bernal is one of the best cyclists in the world today. He has achieved great positions in Tour de Romandie 2024 against Juan Ayuso, Volta Catalunya 2024 against Tadej Pogacar or against Jonas Vingegaard in Galicia. However, both he and the INEOS team of Carlos Rodriguez or Tom Pidcock are not the best in the world as in years past. That’s why Egan Bernal wanted to tell us why this is happening and what is the solution he has for it.

[Music] a gam beral is having a season far above the expectations that even the most optimistic amongst us could have dreamed of after suffering a serious injury in the winter of 2022 and after a discreet 2023 season very few believe that the Colombian Rider of Team inos could be competitive again the reality is quite different as this season he has finished three times in the top 10 in three onewe tours at World Tour level and Dave brailsford’s team is already saying that the rider could go to the tour to France as the main support of Carlos Rodriguez recent winner of the tour of romendy and fourth place rider in the 2023 Grom however we think that Rodriguez is going to have a very difficult time getting close to Tedy Pacha the main alien that he will face in that competition and for that well we simply have to think about Egan’s own words in a recent interview the regon loving pedalist assures everyone that his power and what me readings are pulverizing his own records that is he comments that currently in 2024 and after his Serious injury he’s performing better on his bike than in 2019 the year in which he won the TOA France and in 2021 the year in which he swept the jod ditalia it is true that in those two competitions neither the skier nor the mystical lover of Ura zat nor our beloved Danish Anvi were in the competition but it also remains true true that aam berell was much better than real monsters like the Welsh alcoholic the white Kenyan or the lover of Marion Roose in his prime before succumbing to the siren Cry of alcohol and when he came close to winning a hilarious to of France in other words egito 2024 much better than the double grand tour winning version of himself is at best capable of being 3 minutes behind the anvy in a three-day competition or more than 5 minutes behind the of Dracula gianetti in a onewe tour let’s analyze egam brell’s role in the current pelaton and see if he is the only one to think this way aam beral just before his accident signed a goldplated contract with the inos team allowing him to earn more than €2.5 million EUR per year until the 2026 season super star figures and even higher than those of his supposed leader in the upcoming competitions Rodriguez it’s very complicated and there’s a chance that he might leave the British team that destroyed cycling in the last decade because as we have indicated it has ceased to be a leading team in Road cycling especially after the departure of Sir Dave brailsford to Manchester United but they do Remain the team with the second biggest budget in cycling but still have results inferior to teams like leadle Trek Deaton a or Alik despite the fact that these teams have far less money and fewer possibilities to achieve the best marginal earnings however quality Riders like Bernal himself or the Brit Tom pitcock or caros Rodriguez have lived up to the expectations generated they just need to take one step further to stop being in the second tier and they will reach the level of goodness of teams like vimma lisik or UAE team Emirates but just how close are they to taking that step in romandy gamber now gave an absolute lesson in team cycling one which destroyed the Spanish loudmouth Juan Uso and the Monstrous borer of the new Frankenstein creation floran lipitz if he couldn’t finish higher in the general classification it was because of Egan’s lamentable ride in the individual time trial but it’s clear that the Colombian will have to recover his level little by little and improve his aerodynamic position to be close to the best in this discipline however once the roads got steeper as we saw in Volta catalunia he proved to be the best or at least one of the best climbers as long as a true alien isn’t present that is to say egito is one of the humans that on an isolated day or with a little luck on his side could beat any of the aliens of cycling today but nevertheless he still looks rather distant from them despite the data of his various meters and this demonstrates that the records of pogy and yonas and matcha and other space beings are not due simply to improvements in nutrition or bikes and materials or Zone 2 or Tailwinds or whatever the gcn guys tell us when they want to slim down for operation bikini Igan knows very well what he’s saying and besides he’s not the only one since another cyclist has wanted to give his opinion about these cycling monsters Roman B is practically the last link to the rapidly disappearing 19 90s generation the likes of Fabio aru were going to take the World by storm then after passing through match in stable they retired with strange medical condition tibo Pino and Tom dulang were affected by the confessions of their doped former teammate Jorge preder in operation adilas and they never won monuments or grand Tours again tradito Quintana was chosen by David laao as a scapegoat to show that the UCI is definitely in favor of the fight against doping Sonic Al brelli almost died in full competition after a histrionic and historic season at Bakin Victorious and our friend B has decided to lower expectations in the face of what happened and acquire a lower profile fighting for minor tours and single stages in major competitions however thanks to his knowhow and after many years of experience he was able to finish second in the recently age where pogy obtained the big biggest Gap over the second place Rider in 44 years the team DSM Rider proved he was the best of the rest including one of cycling’s aliens the friend of Dr chini’s son who would pay a month’s salary just to have Justin Bieber sing in his ear like a tender believer Bard has always criticized the behavior of the sports new stars claiming they look like robots he says that cyclists like the Danish anvy are too focused on their meters and data instead of leaving room for improvisation but of course it’s one thing to criticize their behavior of cyclists and another to insinuate that their blood is not like that of a simple human but this was done by our ungainly French pedalist in recent statements after his Li Podium the two times Toto France Podium who has a high level of education and doesn’t find it difficult to express himself knows perfectly well what he’s saying with the following statements I had my best legs ever in this race and still it was not enough to be even close to Pacha his best legs ever the guy who had already been on the podium in Le on another occasion and made the top 10 on two other occasions someone who was seen in the race real monsters like pety valver doped in operation Puerto or bad blood Fang the Danish Rider always the Danes related to Michel Ferrari and a rider who had a Tue so that he could dope like a real troll from the caves well these real freaks are Trifles in comparison to the current ones according to Bard’s words and according to brunal and his what meters and performance data we’re talking about two candidates to fight for places of honor the Colombian in the T France and the Frenchman in the jro Italia two men who only 3 years ago were at the top of world cycling and yet have suddenly been swept away by six alien who have changed the sport forever and as you can see they’re doing it 100% clean

  1. Come on.. Bernal was never on top of anything.. he won TDF 2019 against ..well at best second string riders (Kruijswijk 3rd and Buchmann 4rd ) and would have lost to Pinot if he hadn’t cracked at the pressure…Alaphilippe a spring classic Puncheur fifth…🤭
    TDF 2020 abandoned after loosing 7-8 min on mountain 🏔️stage Pogi/Roglic
    Giro 2021 winner against tough guys like Caruso at 2nd 🥈 😏
    At what race has he ever beaten any top rider ? Just name one ☝️
    Anyways i hope the best for this guy 👍

  2. I still don't know how to feel about this channel. The headlines are complete click bait and videos like this spend so long saying so little. Still, the knowledge of history, and willingness to go where others don't when we all know is so refreshing.

  3. So they are blowing away the times when EPO was wide spread….of course it is all natural and the new equipment is light years ( internal motors included) hey they are eating clean

  4. I've been following this channel for a while and these doping allegations are just wild. Not a single convincing argument. And all this sassy, sarcastic talk is just sad.
    Maybe this will convince you that people like tadej or jonas are natural athletes:
    The body is a biological machine and we understand that machine and the effects of training and nutrition a lot better today then we did 20, 10 or even 5 years ago. There are more road cyclist than ever before and there is far more knowledge in the field.
    You sound like a bunch of old guys still thinking 23mm tires, 200PSI, rim brakes and 5kg steel bikes are fast and disregard everything new as bullshit.
    If riders talent is normal distributed(which it is), it is almost a statistical certainty that the top few riders will be significantly faster then all the rest.

    I try to make it simple to you. If the Top GC riders of the TdF last year were all finishing in a time of a bit more than 82h, it might seem odd when the winner is a few minutes faster then 2nd place. But compare that to me a fit beginner cyclist with an FTP of 307W, I would finish the Tour not in less than 100h and my mom as a average commuter would probably need something like 200h. If you would compare all humans on GC you would see that the difference between the world tour pros is almost negligible compared to the rest of us. Vingegaard was just 0,2% faster than third place Adam Yates, yet that are 10min on GC.
    Which again shows how important marginal gains are, which you seem to ridicule in your videos.
    1% faster on a race like the Tour de France can make up 50min on GC.
    Then nutrition… you downplay that effect a lot. Have you ever raced on like 30g of carbs per hour vs. 50-80g/h? This will likely increase your power output by 10-25%. The riders of today are not only faster then the doped athletes from yesterday because of improved bike tech and improved aerodynamic positions and bike fitting, it is mostly because of nutrition. Even with all the enhancing chemicals flowing through your blood, if there are no carbohydrates these PEs will get you nowhere because you are then always bottlenecked by your fat metabolism.

    If you look at the List of tallest people on Wikipedia or any other List of natural mutations in humans, you will see that the margin between the first 5 entries of the list is far greater than between 10th, and 15th. That is just how nature works. Pros today are all riding the same bikes, eating almost the same and training pretty similar, the biggest distinction are the genetics. And just a fraction of a percent improvement, will look huge on long distance event.

  5. Hahaha, thank you, thank you, thank you for calling out GCN’s BS in trying to sell us how “clean” cycling is today. They’re unbelievably ridiculous. Only thing I can think is that media outlets are afraid of being sued. Or maybe UCI is paying media to try and convince people aerodynamic socks are why they’re breaking EPO era records daily.

  6. The sad fact is that the top cyclists for more than 3 decades have pretty much all been doping to one degree of another. When one guy that's dominated retires and another is right behind him is telling.
