Hi guys..it's very early but i'm very fascinated and very curios thinking about the next wch in valkenburg and i see the colombians team as very solid and strong team considered the altimetry of the race: quintana, uran,duarte,henao, atapuma could be a dangerous threat against the most important teams! what do you think?

They sure have a nice setup. The question is which riders will focus on it. Even though they are all greatly talented riders, the competition will be stiff.

Betancur has clearly got his head on straight and is taking aim for the Worlds. I think he'll be the most competitive Colombian in a Worlds field, although if Duarte gets into decent shape then he can be a factor too. Ideally we'd see Betancur, Duarte, Uran and Henao all in good shape for the Worlds :D

If Betancourt will be in form he will be one of the man to beat: great punch and the engine to perform well in 250 km races.
Duarte, Uran and Heano probably can do well too; while Quintana and Atapuma seems to me more pure climber.
 
It's really not such a hard course... Betancurt could be a threat, but I think it's too easy for the real climbers like Quintana. Unless there's storm and rain, then it will be hard, but I doubt the Colombians will be happy with that ;)
