Alberto Contador continues to bet on Colombian talent: Germán Gómez lands in EOLO-KOMETA

Cycling Market: Germán Gómez joins Alberto Contador's EOLO-KOMETA. With an impressive track record of results on the U23 calendar in 2023, Gomez brings with him youth and exceptional skills to face the most demanding challenges of cycling competitions. He comes from the GW Shimano Sidermec team.
In a recent interview, Germán Gómez expressed his enthusiasm for joining the team and the role he hopes to play in his new home: "With young cyclists you build a project for the future. And in this line, Germán Gómez joins the team looking to reinforce the group of climbers. I like the mountains because of the conditions for training in my country. But I'm versatile and I'm also good at time trials. This comment highlights the cyclist's versatility, as he feels equally comfortable in the mountains as in the stages against the clock, a discipline that is becoming more and more relevant in the fight for the general classifications in races.
Gómez is also proud of his time trial skills and recognizes the effort involved in perfecting this discipline. In addition, he spoke about his outstanding performance in the Vuelta a la Juventud and his solid fourth place overall in the Giro U-23, with two top-10 finishes in the most challenging stages. His ability in the mountains and his capacity to deal with the toughest races are qualities that will surely bring a lot to EOLO KOMETA.
The current season has been a turning point for Gómez, and his performance in the Giro U-23 has given him an extra boost: "The Giro U-23 helped me to gain confidence, to show that the good feelings were becoming a reality. I made a very specific preparation, I went from less to more, it was hard to get into the race but I was getting better and better and to compete in the overall every day I had to be always attentive".
The young Colombian also shared his joy at joining EOLO KOMETA and the positive impression he has had of the team: "I was very happy from the first call when I found out I was coming to this team. I spoke with Giovanni Elena and Ivan Basso, who immediately gave me their confidence. It's a project I've been following for a long time and I like the way they work at the Alberto Contador Foundation". In addition, Gómez has already had the opportunity to race against the team on several occasions, which allowed him to get a close look at their style and approach.
EOLO KOMETA's sports director, Jesús Hernández, highlighted Gómez's qualities and his growth potential: "Germán is a Colombian talent, who follows the team's philosophy of supporting emerging riders both from the Contador Foundation and from other projects. He is a rider with a lot of quality, capable of winning the Vuelta de la Juventud in Colombia two years in a row and of doing very well in the Giro d'Italia U-23. We hope he grows with us and becomes a great rider. We hope he grows with us and confirms with results everything he is already demonstrating."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
