However, Team INEOS has another strong rider waiting for his chance. The rising star from Colombia, Egan Bernal, won Tour de Suisse and didn\u2019t rule out having a go at the Grand Boucle as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Take a look back at how <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Eganbernal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Eganbernal<\/a> pulled off the overall victory at the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TourDeSuisse?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TourDeSuisse<\/a> yesterday with the stage nine highlights \ud83d\udcfd\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tds?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tds<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VelonCC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VelonCC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UdyuXnxdXg\">pic.twitter.com\/UdyuXnxdXg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; INEOS Grenadiers (@INEOSGrenadiers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/INEOSGrenadiers\/status\/1143072423186747392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 24, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>I don\u2019t choose to say that I\u2019m the favourite,\u201d Bernal said. \u201cIn any case I will go with Thomas who will be our leader and I will try to help him and if he is better than me I will help him.
