The look on Egan Bernal's face was a mixture of delight and a little surprise at the mist-enshrouded summit of Limone Piemonte in the Vuelta a España, where the Colombian found himself able to follow the top favourites for the stage win to claim a notable fourth place behind stage winner Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike).
Uphill mass sprints for the line are not one of Bernal's best specialities, but his good positioning and promising form, as well as strong teamwork, all combined to leave him ideally placed for the final battle.
