Egan Bernal has revealed that he would like to race the Tour de France next year, saying that it is time that he was back at the race that he won in 2019.

Speaking to Cyclingnews at the Giro d’Italia Criterium in Dubai, the Ineos Grenadiers rider said: “I think I have to see the parcours so far, but hopefully I will be riding in the Tour. I would probably like to be back there, and to do well again.”
