[Lupetto]

yes the course sucks again. last year wasn;t much either. 2009 was hard when ortega won. it seems they are downgrading the big races a lot this year under uci pressure

The Vuelta a Colombia, one of Latin America’s strongest events, will also miss out on the international calendar after failing to meet UCI team invitation standards.

Colombian website nuestrociclismo.com quoted national federation manager Ruben Dario Galeano as saying, “We are unable to meet the standard enacted in recent years indicating that foreign teams must have five guests with all payments

“The race last year invited eight teams in Europe and America, but in the end they decided not to come to Colombia, stating that they were not interested to come around (an event) as hard as ours.”

Vuelta a Colombia is back on the calendar for 2012, but only ten days long. This UCI leveling down bs again...

Vuelta a Colombia is back on the calendar for 2012, but only ten days long. This UCI leveling down bs again...

This is from the 4th GT thread:

Beginning of the year. It won't have the best names on it, but enough riders would be interested just to be ready for the Classics. Colombia and Venezuela have some good races at the beginning of the year. We don't have the seasonal weather problems.

Even La Vuelta a Colombia could be moved. It would probably has to be shortened to 10 days maybe. I hate to see it shortened, but if it becomes more popular then be it.

I guess they already started. I believe the next step is no move it forward at the beginning of the year; otherwise it would have no chance.

If they fail to attract European pro teams, I'd say keep it the way it was. This even has been running since the 1950's. It already has enough tradition as it is.

 

[Michele]

If they wanna move it earlier in the season for attract more EU teams than they must have an easier route, otherwise it would be too tought as early season race.

On the other hand, as you said, they are going on since 1950 so doesnt make much difference if there's any EU team or not.

What happened to Juan Carlos Lopez? he was once inked as the great one of Colombian Cycling a few years back. All of a sudden he came back to race in Colombia.

 

[jens_attacks]

if the headwind is strong,buffalo has this in the bag

the big ones are starting

until now,ortega the best from the contenders

he was on verge of getting contract with phonak until they had landis get caught or before I don't remember too well. he was a big talent yes, rode with saunier duval u23 but returned to colombia after being phonak stagiare and never left colombia again. rode on antioquia team but had serious injury I think almost 2 years ago and has returned this year and so far done really well. he is more of an itt guy though

[jens_attacks]

now let's wait for marlon

 

[Escarabajo]

Thanks. There was a lenghty article about him in El Tiempo a while back, so that's why I asked.

 

[jens_attacks]

pfff marlon perez smashed it!!
no surprise here

1. Marlon Pérez (GW-Shimano) 9:18, 52.26 km /h

vamos rujano!!

 

[jens_attacks]

looking at his form,i think marlon can beat his record from last year in clasico.5 wins or something

rujano already 20 seconds behind henao and some 15 behind el gato but if he has the form(which it's still unknown) that's nothing.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

eagerly waiting for the youtube video....anyone knows when it will be uploaded?
