Lesser known race results 2011

Maybe Jaramillo is injured? He is also left out of the line-up for Clásico RCN.

 

[boomcie]

They look so damn happy. Must be the most prestigious national title of them all.

 

[Duartista]

yeah. I will make a topic for it soon. rujano will participate!! and he's been getting to great form as he showed in vuelta tovar where he won 2 stages

I believe they are finishing with the exact same mountain time trial as in the VaC, which should suit Rujano down to a T.

Do you know if Colombia es Pasion will be allowed to ride with a full team? Recently they have been competing in regional vueltas with teams of 3-4 riders.

Edit: to answer my own question, it seems they are still awaiting authorisation from the UCI. Biciciclismo has the full list of teams - http://www.biciciclismo.com/cas/site/noticias-ficha.asp?id=42941

I was very surprised that Jaramillo, Ramirez and Jeffrey Romero were all left out of the Avenir team in the end. The only reason I could think of was that they wanted guys who would work on the flat rather than secondary GC threats (wrt Ja
ramillo and Romero; Ramirez they maybe thought was too young).

it's all politics. guys like jaramillo and beltran will not work for quintana as they think they should win avenir instead. they are respected as the top u23 riders in their teams gobernacion and epm-une and with reason, while quintana is from colombia es passion, colombian teams usually aren't on friendly terms with each other.

I was personally most disapointed with no ronald gomez in the team. he is most allround and is a reader of gw shimano u23 squad. it's already special that 3 riders from 3 different top teams are joing cep here in avenir so they were sure to select guys from boyaca like rodriguez and camacho that would surly work for quintana. william valencia is a dark horse but he crashed hard before the race and already lost lots of time.

that's somewhat normal as there is no u23 rider in that selection for rcn. racing in colombia is so hard that at the hardest and biggest races like vuelta and rcn you will hardly see u23 guys in top teams. maybe one like quintana was with cep in this years vuelta colombia, but he's the top guy in that team anyway

edit: I see they also ride with an u23 team without jraramillo, must be injured then or something. although he did race some weeks ago in final prep race for quintana in colombia, forgot which one

 

[greenedge]

Modolo confirms the fact he should be Italy's Worlds leader.

What the hell is going on in Giro di Padania? The whole thing is turnig into a big joke (if it wasn't already). Roads getting blocked and protesters getting physical with riders. Hope it goes as quickly as it came.

When the politics are involved, is never a nice thing!

Always on the cards, given it's concept. Very political.
Talking of roadblocks; 25 teams of 8 is quite a hefty field for a first edition!

 

[TeoSheva]

any news from Memorial Rik Van Steenbergen?

With a bit of luck, it will be disrupted on every stage and end in a humiliating farce, never to darken the doorstep of the cycling calendar again.

Yeah, you are probably right. The reason I mentioned Jaramillo, Romero, and Ramirez though was because they were in the pre-selection and did some tests with CEP, so presumably they had permission from their teams to take part.

5k to the end! All togheter! sprint!

yeah they had, but cep didn't want them... also has to do with cep being totally paranoia over doping, for once they are sure jaramillo is doped and basically say all are doped but them. at the end of the year thought facts are, gob and epm rode very well in results outside of colombia and cep have virtually no results. and they all get tested

Well, to be fair they are the only team who are part of the bio-passport, which takes up a quarter of their budget, and Botero hiring Ignacio Labarta as trainer is pretty dodgy.
If they are paranoid, it is probably because they would risk losing their funding if a rider tested positive - the whole point of the CeP project is to improve the image of Colombia abroad and, especially, to disassociate it from drugs.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

yeah but they are complete paranoid and have no experience or knowledge of cycling and tactics. saldarriaga comes from track and is a great trainer but no director and luisa is good manager but also paranoid about everything outside her team. if gob was so doped then explain failure of them in vuelta colombia. also about botero, I know he rode with kelme but he has been acquited of everything by both colombian federation and uci in the same way davis and contador got it for instance.

I'm not saying that they are doped, just that the ex-Kelme links are reasonable grounds for suspicion. It's unfortunate because they have a great record of bringing through young riders.

I do agree about CeP's tactical failures though.
