The Colombian is racing at his top level and after a complicated start to the Giro, his form seems to be improving as the race goes on – whilst other riders, such as Giulio Pellizzari, have cracked out of GC contention.<\/p>\n

The 2019 Tour de France winner also underlined his excellent relationship with Arensman, one of INEOS\u2019 key assets for the future. The pair already shared leadership and responsibility weeks ago at the Tour of the Alps, and that connection seems to be strengthening day by day at the Giro.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve raced together a lot. As I said before, he\u2019s a very young talent. No doubt he has many good years ahead,\u201d Bernal said of his teammate, whom he considers one of the most promising riders in the WorldTour peloton.<\/p>\n

The Colombian went even further, making clear the pride he feels in sharing a team and races with him: \u201cFor me it\u2019s an honor to share some races with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Total confidence in Arensman\u2019s podium bid<\/p>\n

After Jonas Vingegaard’s attack in Car\u00ec, Bernal went to the front of the Arensman group and paced the climb in the group that was directly behind the Dane. His efforts got Arensman to climb onto the podium as Afonso Eul\u00e1lio had been dropped; and he himself climbed from 12th to 10th on the day, overtaking the previously mentioned Pellizzari but also Mathyus Rondel. With Ben O’Connor and Afonso Eul\u00e1lio consistently shedding time, the Colombian can realistically aim higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve always had confidence. That\u2019s what we try to show day by day. Feet on the ground, but obviously with great ambition,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

But the ambition is clear: Get INEOS back on the podium of a Grand Tour \u201cI think Thymen deserves to be on the podium.\u201d It will not be easy with Felix Gall and Jai Hindley, at peak form, rivalling the Dutchman. But it is possible.<\/p>\n

Stages 19 and 20 will be two brutal days in the mountains where the classification will be further decided; with the Dolomites stage perhaps suiting Bernal to perfection with altitude being a key element to the Passo Giau and Passo Falzarego.<\/p>\n
