The Pinarello with which Bernal won the Tour de France disappears

In a brief video posted on social media, Egan Bernal reports the disappearance of his yellow Pinarello bicycle with which he conquered the Tour de France in 2019, becoming the first and only Colombian cyclist to achieve this to date.

Strange statement from Egan Bernal reporting the disappearance of his most special bike

The video that appeared on social media featuring the Colombian cyclist, in which he reported the disappearance of the Pinarello bicycle used in the last stage of the 2019 Tour de France, with the usual yellow decoration that brands typically dedicate to the winning cyclist of the French round, is strangely brief, and the tone does not convey the concern of someone who has lost such a precious object.

Egan Bernal's specific message explains, “Hello, hello, guys, I have to communicate something. Imagine that my bicycle has disappeared. We are looking at cameras and finding out what happened. Hopefully, this can be clarified quickly; we will keep you posted. Stay tuned.”

This way of concluding the message, for regular social media users, could hide some type of campaign seeking to viralize the video and create hype for some upcoming announcement. However, in any case, nothing suggests that it is an announcement related to sports aspects, so, based on assumptions drawn from the experience of what can be seen on social media and current marketing trends, it could be some launch by Pinarello.

In any case, without being able to affirm anything about the reality or not of what happened, for now, we can only trust Egan Bernal's words and think that the theft has indeed occurred and that he has suffered the loss of an extremely valuable bike, which is surely coveted among Colombian collectors, a country where cycling is lived almost as if it were a religion.
