Just some small news regarding signings for next year.

Daniel Jaramillo to GreenEdge
Sebastian Henao to Sky

I heared the rumours but didnt see confirmation yet, do you have a source?

 

[Michele]

I think it was magazine Mundo Ciclistico who said that.

 

[Ruudz0r]

hmm okay I saw this http://www.revistamundociclistico.c...ramillo-y-sebastian-henao-rumbo-a-europa.html (which I guess is the site of that magazine)

But if my Spanish is good enough it says Jaramillo is close to signing (so didnt sign yet) and Henao is most likely to go to SKY. But my Spanish aint that great so I might be wrong.

 

[Michele]

The article, as you said, just mention that they are both very close to sign.

 

[Eric8-A]

Pretty sure Henao is a sure thing though.

Jaramillo= Orica Green Edge (final negotiations)
S Henao = Sky (confirmed)

Here's another picture of Suarez. He seems to be the only one of his team in the race.

 

[slosada]

Here's another picture of Suarez. He seems to be the only one of his team in the race.

It seems that there was a massive crash on Friday that took 10 riders out. I was listening to an interview blaming the race organizers for not checking the road beforehand and there was a landslide that partially covered the road.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Thanks for the info Eric good to see him get some decent results again, hopefully he can fineally show something in Europe again later this year.

 

[Eric8-A]

Suarez said on Twitter that he was the only one of his team racing down there. He resumed training tomorrow. Not entirely sure what's next on his calendar.

A picture of Magallanes winning the final stage of the Ruta del Centro.

The guys in the back are probably celebrating Victor Garcia's overall win.

Yesterday, it was reported that Mexican cyclist Edgar Alejandro Morales passed away due to a traffic accident while training. While he was able to be wheeled to a hospital, the severity of his injuries, he unfortunately passed.

Edgar rode for the team Empacadora San Marcos, and was known as "El Salvaje" amongst his fellow riders.
