The cyclist Egan Bernal was one of the main supporters of the presidential campaign of Federico ‘Fico’ Gutiérrez in the Colombian elections. And after finishing third, the athlete now seems to support Rodolfo Hernández’s candidacy for not being in favor of Gustavo Petro’s proposals.
He has not publicly declared his support for Hernández, but he begins to leave messages negative about Petro ahead of the second round of the presidential elections in the South American country.
“The worst of all is that Petro is about to lose the presidency, among other things thanks to his brave bars and called activists. That they try to tyrannize everyone who does not vote for him with an air of moral superiority and what they do is that the rest of the ppss already know…”, commented Egan on his Twitter account.
Petro’s daughter, Sofía Petro, is very active on social networks and did not miss the opportunity to respond to the cyclist quoting his own tweet.
“Dear Egan, I am very sorry if you have ever felt offended. All with respect! However, reflection on the proposals, for sport for example, is important. And yes, there is a candidate who gives him priority and is not going to dissolve his ministry. A hug and strength”.
Bernal supported ‘Fico’ Gutiérrez during all these weeks while he continues at home his rehabilitation to return to compete in the cycling elite. A few months ago he suffered a serious accident that could have left him unable to walk.
This athlete from Zipaquirá made history in 2021 by becoming the first Latin American to win the Tour de France, as well as being the youngest winner dwarves. While in 2021 he became the second Colombian to win the Giro d’Italia after what Nairo Quintana did in 2014.
