As previously reported on Cyclingnews, Ineos Grenadiers' Egan Bernal has decided to put an end to his 2020 season in order to recover fully from the back injury that forced him to quit this year's Tour de France, and to be ready to hit the ground running next season.

Bernal – who was the defending champion – abandoned this year's rescheduled Tour last month after stage 16, still struggling with the back injury that had forced him to pull out of the Critérium du Dauphiné in mid-August.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling.
