Egan Bernal was treated at the Universidad de la Sabana clinic in Bogota where he underwent spinal surgery
BOGOTA – Former Tour de France winner Egan Bernal was “conscious” a day after the Colombian cycling star underwent emergency surgery following a devastating collision with a bus outside Bogota, doctors said Tuesday.
“He is conscious, with mobility in all four limbs” and showing signs of “further progress in his post-operative development,” said the Sabana University Clinic, where the cyclist was rushed by ambulance after smashing head-on into a bus.
Having undergone what doctors called “successful” surgery, the injured cyclist was extubated on Tuesday afternoon “without any complications” and has had “an excellent response to treatment,” the clinic said in a statement.
