Egan Bernal (Team Ineos) has reiterated that he intends to make his Giro d’Italia debut in 2021 but he acknowledged that his plans could change depending on which Grand Tours, if any, are held this season.

The Colombian was due to ride the Giro in 2019 but changed his schedule after suffering a broken collarbone in a training crash shortly before the race. He went on to ride and win the Tour de France.
