Why did Henao leave then? I would think if he wanted to ride for his home grown team, he would have resigned with them.

To ride in Europe...

their passion for what bike racing should be all about. they are the only glimpse of light in current european cycling except sagan or cancellara maybe.

There is an unexplained phenomena among cycling fans in Holland with absolutely no Latin roots, to become.obsessed with Colombian riders

Did not mean that, but we got alot of riders that are more aggressive than atleast Sagan, who 9/10 times can rely on a very good sprint?

 

[The Hitch]

Say what? Ag2r got betancur. Gadret dupont and betancur. They can be a real force in the gts not to mention classics.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Ryo, did coldesportes try to sign Betancur before he went to AG2R?

I don't know that. but I doubt it

it's not just about blidnly attacking but by racing to win at all costs. did you see henao or uran sprint today for 2nd place in san sebastian? of course not

 

[Moviefan1203]

To ride in Europe...

No kidding. I was implying that Colombians don't always want to ride for Coldeportes. Hence why Henao is riding for Sky.

Did not see much chasing from Sky either at the end there

Ok, cheers. Was just curious. But dont u find it a bit generalizing? I mean surely not all Columbians are like that and surely 99% of the euro-riders arent the opposite?

Well tbh I didnt see Uran sprinting for 1st in the Olympics Sry couldnt help it

Afterwards he probably did sprint towards the ATM though.

Henao signed with Sky before Coldeportes existed.

it counts for 99% yes. there are exceptions like duque, pena, ardila. riders I don't give 2 **** about and as I said some europeans understand it like vino

Because to people raised in a country where 50m above sea level is considered the highlands, Colombia is a world of totally alien wonder, a bit like putting the Amish in the control room at NASA.
