UGINE, France - Egan Bernal withdrew on Saturday from the Criterium du Dauphine as a precaution due to a back injury, but his Ineos team is confident the Colombian will be on the Tour de France starting line in Nice at the end of the month when he begins the defence of his title.
"He rode back to the hotel and he could have done the stage today for sure," Ineos sports director Gabriel Rasch said after Saturday's fourth stage from Ugine to Megeve. Geraint Thomas, winner of the Tour in 2018, said he did not foresee a"major issue" for Bernal after revealing the reason for his Ineos teammate's withdrawal from the tune-up race."It's such a short turn around to the Tour that it's important he gets it 100 per cent right and be good then. I don't think it's a major issue, it's just better to be on the side of caution.
