"In addition, what you can do is, if you want to donate some money, you can go to fundacionexito.org," Bernal said. Bernal is the latest high profile current or former rider to contribute to a global effort to help caregivers during the coronavirus crisis after two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador auctioned one of his former bikes on Wednesday.
