Egan Bernal has dismissed rumours that he had grown unhappy at Ineos Grenadiers and that he was ever entertaining the idea of moving teams this winter. 

A report in the Italian media in September was picked up by Colombian newspapers, leading to speculation over the future of the former Tour de France winner and current Giro d'Italia champion.
