In that case we need to create one.
The coincidence is that is called "Colombia Oro y Paz" and people will start calling it Vuelta a Colombia Oro y Paz. People already started doing that. :(

Says Uran, Gaviria and Quintana will take part, what a nice addition to the calender!

There was some confusion about the real Vuelta a Colombia and the new race. This thread is for discussing the new and awesome Oro and Paz, a good early test and a great alternative to the middle east, especially for South American riders. I have moved 5 posts from the thread to this one after I was informed by Netserk.

I am concerned about safety of the riders. I hope that they are prepared. Seriously. People will be completely shocked when they see the crowds. You think you have seen crowded roads in Europe. Well prepare for this.

Not exactly the right topic, but I think this post will be buried in the National Championships 2018 topic, so I'll ask my question here: where are the Colombian national championships this year? What's the parcours? And which riders are confirmed to participate?

They take place in Medellín. 02.02. - 04.02. They hope to attract all the stars with this date.

Yup, its a pretty convenient date. This race will indirectly attract bigger stars to the NC as well, so its really a win-win for Colombian cycling to have many of its stars meet up early in the season before their 'real' season starts. Only M.A. Lopez, Chaves and Restrepo won't participate in Oro and Paz.

Given that Nibs could not ride San Juan, maybe there is a chance that he rides Oro y Paz with Italia National Team?
he's riding Tour of Oman 13-02 18-02, so won't be at Oro y Paz.
