Cycling: We're slowly running out of superlatives. Egan Bernal (Sky) scored after the second stage also won the sixth leg of the Tour of California. The 21-year-old distanced himself from the competition by more than a minute. Tomorrow he will therefore win the Tour of California.
Bernal takes 98 seconds off Van Garderen
One should be careful with superlatives, yes Egan Bernal (Sky) leaves us no choice. Today's performance at the Tour of California was that of a talent of the century. The Colombian, who only turned 21 in January, didn't give the competition the slightest chance. On the second and last mountain stage, he attacked much earlier than a few days ago because he was on Tejay Van Garderen (BMC) had to catch up from a deficit of 23 seconds. He managed that without any problems. In the out-of-the-saddle he tore from his team-mate after preliminary work Tao Geoghegan Hart quickly a gap between himself and all other climbers. After that it got bigger and bigger. Only 88 seconds after the winner came along Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) the next driver, followed by Geoghegan Hart. The previous overall leader Tejay Van Garderen lost 98 seconds - and of course the yellow jersey as well.
