Colombia - Coldeportes

[Ryo Hazuki]

They couldn't do any worse than Andalucía-Caja Granada IMO.

or colnago at the giro or saur at the tour

Nope. Seeing as how the Colombian teams rode during Utah and Colorado, they'll surely race better than them.

The mundociclistico website said that the team presentation will be tomorrow.

When the road goes uphill. I think any TTT or hard flat stages with some serious cross winds could be their undoing I would think. But I would give them a ride, I mean why not?

 

[greenedge]

Looking good for them. Imagine them challenging Rujanos', Sellas' and Serpas' team at the Giro. That would be epic and wishful thinking for next year.

atapuma also to coldeportes. we will know more today

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

oh nice.

seem to be gathering the bigger talents available.
Will have a nice team.

Any idea on the type of schedule they will be riding.

It still rankles that they got invited when Caja Rural didn't. Next year they start in Navarre though, so good chance for Caja to get the ride.

Only 14 in the 'European' team so far - no Infantino or Beltran.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Colombia-Coldeportes Pro Continental Profesional:

Juan Pablo Suárez, Jarlinson Pantano, Jeffrey Romero, Juan Pablo Forero, Víctor Hugo Peña, Javier González, Darwin Atapuma, Carlos Julián Quintero, Wilson Marentes, Robinson Chalapud, Dalivier Ospina, Esteban Chávez, Edwin Parra, Luis Felipe Laverde, Frank Osorio

Freddy Montaña, Juan Alejandro García, Jorge Duarte, Iván Mauricio Casas, Jaime Castañeda, Mauricio Neisa, Marlon Pérez, Jefferson Vargas, John Freddy García, Manuel Mayorga, Ronald Gómez, Stíver Ortíz, Alexander Rojas, Alexis Camacho, Diego Calderón, Félix Barón, Camilo Gómez.

beltran and infantino like I said aren't going, beltran for sure not. but probably still some will be named for pct team.

I actually think the ct team is stronger than the pct team

 

[Eric8-A]

I was also wondering about Infantino. But the list for the proconti team doesn't seem to be complete. Hopefully he signs in the coming days.

 

[Eric8-A]

According to the CQ website, Infantino is on the roster for Coldeportes

Do they have a non-governmental sponsor too? I would love to see a Colombian team do well in Europe again, but I'm not sure without a trade sponsor how secure this team is.

I thought Unipublic said that Caja Rural are more or less certain to be invited?

ait's a joint venture of many of the biggest company's in colombia and nati0nal government that have millions to spend and only more in future. their next year budget will be over 5 million dollar

infantino stays with epm-une

 

[profff]

after the folding of geox, fabio duarte has offers from colombia coldeportes and from three european teams.
there is strong pression on him in colombia in order to join the colombian team.

it could be a great thing for coldeportes yo have duarte and he could find some of his old teammates of colombia es pasion and, more than that, he will be free to play his cards in every race.
coldeportes will find a colombian leader who has already proven to be able to win in europe

 

[The Hitch]

Would be great but then he wouldnt ride a GT. No Liege nor Lombardy either.

as much as he's desired to command the Colombian squad-I think he should remain in Europe until Coldeportes "finally" secures the sponsor to upgrade the team for WT invitations. Fabio still in development & should continue that process for a while, so he can build up better credentials too-plus those points that nowadays matter a lot

maybe they would get a wildcard, especially for vuelta and I don't think he cares much for classics

+1.

Couldn't agree more.

i post it in here , even it is not about coldeportes

betancourt is rumored going to liquigas, while palmiro masciarelli, acqua &sapone manager, says that he will stay with acqua & sapone in 2012.
palmiro says thart there is a signed contract and that the colombian want to stay in the team.
