This isn't good. here is my translation:

"So many things left to resolve, waiting for everything to be solved and be able to be at my first giro d' Italia"

At 29 April. That's not good.
Hope the Colombians get their visas. I mean why is it so hard for them to get a visum?

Because it's Great-Britain. For every person outside GB it's difficult to get a visa, due to al the bureaucratic issues.

PCS already gives the Giro-squad for Trek, with Arredondo. However, that's without a source so it's still not certain.

Oops, shame on me. I didn't even read that tweet properly. I just copied it. And i'm learning Spanish this year:eek:

But still i think it will be right, just in time like those things always goes.

It's a complicated sentence to translate. You have to translate the whole sentence, words at a time make it hard to understand the meaning :)

Here is an update 5/2/2014:

Colombiano Julián Arredondo no define aún el tema de la visa británica para competir en el Giro.

Translation:
Colombian Julian Arredondo has not finalized the issue with the british visa needed to compete at the Giro

I've never had any problem whatsoever with a visa to GB.

Being Colombian is a big reason why it's hard for them. Very big.

These damn Visa issues. :mad: Hope he can get it resolved before the Giro. He's been in great form this year and I want to see how he goes in a GT.

I'm so impressed by this new offspring of the Colombian land -Trek Factory is in possession of one of the brightest prospects to develop & peharps become a GC leader. What can we expect from this new fantastic rider in the coming years? Please opine

Here are plenty of so called brightest prospects. One only wonders how it's possible when in fact brightest can be only one. Anyway...he has to show something else than blow up spectacularly in last kms.

After being all day in a break? :eek::eek::eek::eek: It's amazing he went that far.

Well nobody says it wasn't good what he showed today, but is that something exceptional? Does it make him winner? Don't know.

Arredondo was really great today.

Too bad his GC is already ruined. If he didn't go in a break because his GC was already ruined, he would've probably attacked from the favourites group and won today........ :eek:

Hope he can win a stage or two and the mountain jersey this Giro! :)

I've merged hfer07's thread with the one we already have.

Very impressed by him (yet again ;)) today. Great to see him going for it and trying animate the race. We will see him again before the Giro's over. And he'll be raising his hands to the sky. :)

What's wrong with those words? I'm not Colombian and I don't have enough hype in me I suppose.

Wait a second!!!! Dude wins a stage at the Giro, in spectacular fashion and no one updates his very own thread? What gives?????

Anyway, great win by my guy JA. He looked super strong until the last 100m then he looked cooked, but what an effort. Maybe he should be the leader in the future, his climbing is outstanding.

He's doing fantastic in his first GT! Stage win, been attacking nonstop the entire race, and looks like he will bring home the mountains jersey. Most definitely a future leader for the GT's. One hell of a talent.
