BRUSSELS - Colombian rider Egan Bernal is young enough to surpass any of the Tour de France legends, French great Bernard Hinault said on Sunday.
The straight-talking 64-year-old's fierce competitive personality earned him the nickname 'The Badger', but he was in a relaxed and friendly mood on a sunny day at the Village de Depart in Brussels.
Hinault is the last Frenchman to win the Tour, back in 1985, when he clinched his record-tying fifth title.
