Egan Bernal has admitted that the terrible training crash, with ongoing recovery from multiple fractures and spinal surgery, has changed his life forever.

It is still too early to suggest when he can return to racing and the 25-year old Colombian still faces months of rehabilitation and hard work. But for now, he is just happy to be alive.
