“Good son. Good brother. Good fiancé”

COLOMBIA El Universal: “It is not fiction and not a dream. Egan Bernal, a humble Colombian of just 22 years old, has achieved what seemed impossible for our country: he has finally won the coveted Tour de France. (...) That's why all of Colombia is moved; Our hearts are gripped by patriotism and not a few Colombians have burst into tears.”

El Heraldo: “Huge. Bold. Brilliant. Decided. Purposeful. Modest. Talented. Sensitive. Transparent. Good son. Good brother. Good fiancé. Good grandson. Good Colombian. Disciplined. Dreamer. Good-natured. Okay, in all caps. All this and more is the great Egan Bernal, who pedaled like a titan with his unwavering spirit and brought Colombia a historic triumph.”

El Pais: “The dream of the humble cyclist from Zipaquira has finally come true. And not only because he has just won the Tour de France, but also because his name will forever shine in the history of sport in Colombia and the world (...). Bernal has brought Colombia’s name to the top in cycling, and thanks to his great exploits, all eyes are now on this land of coffee.”

GREAT BRITAIN The Guardian: “A strange series of fortunate events has now made him (Bernal, ed.) an overnight star as his country's first Tour de France winner and the likely leader of the world's most successful cycling team - Ineos - for years to come .”

FRANCE Le Parisien: “Colombian madness has reached the Champs-Elysees. Australian Caleb Ewan's sprint victory (...) briefly overshadowed the frenetic chants of Egan Bernal's supporters. But from the summit of Val Thorens to the most beautiful avenue in the world, the trance of a people dressed in yellow, crowning one of their own on the tour for the first time, brought everyone together.”

ITALIAN La Repubblica: “The sunset in Paris brings a new dawn for cycling. Colombia and with it South America are taking part for the first time: it is the 14th nation marked on the Tour de France world map. For illustrator Egan Bernal, it’s one of those days when rewinding the tape is inevitable.”
