Premiación del caldense Jhonatan Restrepo, quien este domingo le dio su primer triunfo en Europa al GW Shimano Sidermec, en el Giro Reggio Calabria 2023 ¡Felicitaciones campeón! 👏🇨🇴
Transfers & Negotiations. Alberto Contador, the two-time Tour de France champion, is in charge of his own team, EOLO-KOMETA , which competes in the ProTeam category and aims to continue ascending the European cycling scene.
However, the team will have to make adjustments for next year, as it will lose two of its main riders. Lorenzo Fortunato and Vincenzo Albanese will leave Contador's squad, which is also managed by another cycling legend, Iván Basso. To cover these absences, the team has set its sights on two Colombian cyclists.
Santiago Umba and Jhonatan Restrepo would be chosen by Eolo Kometa. Both riders are currently part of the GW Shimano Sidermec team, led by Italian Gianni Savio.
Santiago Umba, a 20-year-old cyclist born in Arcabuco (Boyacá), has always been by Savio's side since the days of Androni Giocattolli. Jonathan Restrepo, 28, has competed on teams like Katusha and Androni Giocattolli himself.
It should be noted that Restrepo will be one of the cyclists who will participate in the 2023 edition of the Tour of Colombia, a race that will begin on June 16.
