Ag2r are invites and Betancur is on the startlist.

I tried to post an url, but After a few attempt I failed to do so on my ipad :)

It was on wielerflits.nl a while back. Ofcourse it was all provisional.

I believe/hope that we will see Betancur back in shape winning races this year. At least that's what he has said to the media.

I certainly hope so, but I'm not sure that we can really take his comments as evidence of form. I mean, what's he going to say? "No, I'm planning on showing up way out of condition again and hope to spend the year hanging around the grupetto."

I think he still needs some time to prepare for the season...

Well, i just dislike the cardigan and shorts combination, but that's just a personal preference.

Betancur looks double the size as Quintana in that picture!!!

Hope things get better for Betancur this year. At least I hope that he is fit, so he can at least try to fight for the classics.

He looks like a snobbish 11-year old schoolboy I think.

Sadly, Carlos is skipping the Ardennes.



“I don’t think I will be there,” he said. “It's a shame, but it is better to do so to arrive in the best condition at the Giro d'Italia which is the main objective.”

That would be stupid. He can win any of the Ardennes classics, i don't think he can win the Giro, at least not this year.

What? That's just idiocy.

I agree. That performance at FW in 2013 was incredible. I can't believe he held on for 3rd. And then 4th at Liège a few days later. What a shame.

Anyway, here's his schedule:

Tour de San Luis
Tirreno-Adriatico
Volta a Catalunya
Vuelta al Pais Vasco
Tour de Romandie
Giro d'Italia

They are betting on Betancur for a good show at the Giro. So they make him do more racing kms by doing more stage races. Let's see how it works.:)

I did read his schedule without the Ardennes at some point but I thought it was just a mistake. That's very weird in my opinion. I don't think doing the Ardennes will hurt his Giro form too much, and he can produce some great results in the Ardennes. Bad decision imo.
