Colombia - Coldeportes

[jens_attacks]

can't wait to see him racing. my favourite colombiano, vamos chavito!!!

 

[staubsauger]

also the interview tells well how strong the bond is between colombians and colombian teams and their nation. like I said don't be surprised to see someone like henao leave sky and go to coldeportes next year. the interview is quite telling imo.

He probably would leave Sky anyway if he is scoring at the Vuelta as he won't play the third fidle after Wiggins and Froome then anymore. Of course Coldeportes would be an obvious choice than.

Not something youd hear Cav say.

Agreed. I was introduced to Cycling Inquisition by one of Duartista's earlier posts and have been in his/her debt ever since.

How much cash does Coldesportes have? Are they going to be able to afford Uran or Henao at the end of this season?

very good news!!

claudio corti has been told by colombian government that he must fire his son marco because they don't want any un-colombian riders in the team unless he's of extreme quality.

how they now go for a colombian replacement that is worthy

For what? The Tour? Id rather they just threw 100% at the giro.

They are expecting an invitation to the Tour. Chaves was present at the Route presentation and last year Prudhomme was raving about the history of the Colombians in the Tour. They've even got membership in MPCC.
So I guess, if they aren't invited it will be a disappointment for them.

+1.

In the past the Tour directors have been nostalgic about the Colombians in the Tour. I think this year would be a bit too early IMHO. With this team they should put all the efforts in doing a great Giro.

Today's training session.

 

[jens_attacks]

every day they discover something else. how beautiful is that

i wonder if next time someone will go with them to a brothel

 

[Ryo Hazuki]
