What’s up with Egan Bernal’s Strava?
The Colombian had a horrific crash in January
Is Egan Bernal already back on the bike? Or did someone hack his account?

Bernal then had further spinal surgery, according the Clinica Universidad de La Sabana in Bogotá.
According to his tean, INEOS-Grenadiers, he was released from the hospital on Feb 6.

But according to his Strava, he rode 70 km on Feb 4, and 50 km on Feb 1.
At one point, many were wondering if he would be able to ride again. Bernal himself even after the accident there was a 95 per cent chance of him being paralyzed.
Many of his fans and peers were incredulous, and thrilled, he was riding again. His ride begins and ends in Tabio Colombia, which is 45 km away from Bogotá, where he had his surgery. But still, it’s both astonishing (and great news) that he is riding already.
