Bernal reflects on supporting Arensman after years of being the leader: 'It's a great honor'

Former Tour de France and Giro d'Italia winner Egan Bernal has slotted into a support role for Netcompany-Ineos teammate Thymen Arensman in the final week of this year's Giro, and the Colombian veteran reflected on the way his role has changed in conversation with media after stage 16.

"It was a very explosive, tough stage – well, all the stages are hard," Bernal said, as Cyclingnews reports. "But all the riders here have worked hard for me in the past, and now it's a great honor for me to have the same role for Thymen and help him get on the podium." [Cyclingnews]
