Two days after Egan Bernal’s terrible collision with the back of a parked bus in Colombia, the 2020 Tour de France champion and current Giro d’Italia titlist is conscious and able to move his arms and legs after multiple surgeries on Monday night.
The Clinica Universidad de La Sabana in Bogotá released a statement from the hospital’s general director Juan Guillermo Ortiz MartÃnez that doctors had removed the tube in Egan’s throat that helped Egan breath during surgery on his spine and broken right femur. In general Bernal has responded excellently to the treatment of his spine, femur, right patella, ribs and punctured lungs.
