PARIS - Egan Bernal became the first Colombian to win the Tour de France on Sunday with his youthful brilliance looking set to cement Team Ineos’s domination of cycling’s greatest race for years to come.
In only his second season with Ineos, Bernal beat team mate and defending champion Geraint Thomas for the team’s second one-two, after Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome finished in the top two places in 2012. It means France’s chances of soon finding a successor to Hinault, the last home-grown rider to win the Tour in 1985, appear slim after Thibaut Pinot, the only man to best Bernal in the mountains before he sustained an injury, had to abandon.
Yet Ineos, despite being below their usual collective level and unable to control the race as they have done so often, had two aces to play with Bernal and Thomas — and once Pinot withdrew, they only had to trump Alaphilippe. Ineos manager Dave Brailsford, who has now taken Wiggins, Froome and Bernal to the title, summed up the race perfectly.
