Before the first round, Egan showed his inclination towards the ‘Fico’ Gutiérrez campaign and, in turn, his discrepancy with the economic ideas of the leader of the Historical Pact Gustavo Petro, these ideological differences have been evidenced on his Twitter account, where he has posted some strong messages related to politics.
#FicoWithoutReverse So Egan fills me with pride and represents me, so I think that Fico is the one who best represents me and with him until I win so that Colombia has the opportunity to continue growing without communism pic.twitter.com/EkgbduBtFP

The most recent comment made by the winner of the Tour de France and a Giro d’Italia has to do with a trill by Petro in which he mentioned García Márquez and his place of origin despite having lived in Zipaquirá.
“Gabriel García Márquez was a coastal who studied in Zipaquirá,” was Petro’s message on his Twitter account.
Gabriel Garcia Márquez was a coastal man who studied in Zipaquirá, in my same school. https://t.co/C4iWyUWNlU

To the words of the presidential candidate, the Zipaquieño rider replied as follows:

«You need about 100 years of Soledad to compare yourself with Gabriel García Márquez, while he began to write his first stories, you were part of a terrorist group. And now he wants to be president, discrediting even his own allies. There is no comparison, “reads the message of the Colombian rider.
Tweets from Egan Bernal.
Faced with this and other messages that Egan has written against Petro, the politician in a recent interview with Diario Marca believes that the Colombian cyclist is not the author of such trills, despite the fact that they are posted on his social networks.
“I’m not sure it’s Egan who writes,” Petro said in dialogue with the sports news portal.
And he added: «They take CM from many famous people and use that in politics and sometimes the real character doesn’t even know. There I take my distance, because if I answered Egan I don’t know if it’s him.
Finally, the Colombian politician stated that he did not feel any resentment towards Egan and on the contrary, if he becomes president, he will not stop reaching out to him.
