In other news, Giovanny Baez will leave EPM-UNE for EBSA next year. Hopefully he'll have more freedom there.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

he already had good freedom in epm but his results were lacking and he got paid a lot

I always wanted to see him lead EPM-UNE at the Vuelta a Colombia, but they usually seemed to have another designated leader.

[Taxus4a]

Gregory told me he would ride Costa Rica to help the team, specially Raabe. His first big objetive is San Luis, leading his new team and trying to fill the gap of Acevedo, today in Garmin.

Anyway, Gregory is doing well, and I have curiosity to see him in the first ITT, half plane, half climb. Maybe he will test, but I am not sure.

The Vuelta is for Rojas, but the fight JPS-Copenae will be interesting...

Here's a little video on the fifth stage of Costa Rica. Audio's off during the racing, but it comes on for the interviews.

it will all depend on how clinically active the peloton has bee. brenes is one of the few I know for sure who isn't fueled up.

It is not possible to talk about that here, but I know about it as well. Anyway, he told me he will think in San Luis and he will take easy Costa Rica for the first time in his life.

He will take a pleasure to fight againts his friend Quintana and Nibali in San Luis instead Rojas.
