Egan Bernal’s agent has denied reports that his star rider is unhappy at Ineos Grenadiers and that the Colombian will run down his long-term contract before signing for Israel Start-Up Nation.

Bernal, 24, signed for Ineos – then known as Team Sky – in 2018 and has since won the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia. In 2020, he suffered with a serious back injury that scuppered his Tour de France defence but he returned to winning ways at the Giro this year
