Egan Bernal had a challenging yet positive stage 16 in the Giro d'Italia, despite team setbacks including crashes from teammates. After being dropped from the general classification group, he fought back to secure 11th place, moving to sixth overall. His time loss to the race leader was minimized, and he expressed hope for the upcoming stages, emphasizing his belief in a potential rebound despite the difficulties faced. Ineos Grenadiers continues their aggressive strategy going forward, looking to improve their standings in the race.
"That was a hard day," were Bernal's first words at the finish, not knowing where he'd finished or where he was on GC.
Today, a lot changed on the GC with just one day of high mountains, and there's three more to go. I think that tomorrow with the Mortirolo, that's not going to be an easy day either.
Though he's up placings-wise, he only shaved 15 seconds off his deficit to the maglia rosa.
Bernal and Ineos Grenadiers have taken an aggressive approach in this race so far, hoping to climb the standings aggressively rather than conservatively.
