was reported in Cyclingnews, with quote from his manager that it would be less pressurising than going to the Vuelta and being expected to win it.
Wasn't sure myself but he's not starting the Dauphine so follows what was reported...http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/bernal-set-to-make-tour-de-france-debut-after-california-victory/

Is anyone really expecting that, apart from his manager? The number of riders who've won their debut GT can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
I could be wrong, but I'd be very surprised if Sky took the risk of trying to win the Tour with a team of just eight riders and include Bernal in that selection.

Why is everyone convinced Sky are taking Bernal to the Tour? He's never ridden a GT before, taking a rookie to the biggest race of the year when you're riding to win seems risky. He's not going to add anything that another one of their more experienced riders could bring to the team.
