Egan Bernal, one of the most high-profile riders in this yearās transfer market, is close to signing a four-year contract extension with Ineos Grenadiers. The deal would tie the former Tour de France and Giro dāItalia winner to the team until the age of 33 and would presumably be his final major contract.

Although we cannot confirm that the deal is signed at this stage, all indications point to it being only a matter of time before Ineos Grenadiers makes an announcement, leaving any team interested in the 29-year-oldās future with only a very narrow window to act. As far as we know, only Ineos are at an advanced stage of finalising a deal with Bernal.
