Colombian champion Alejandro Osorio wins third stage of the Tour Colombia
CyclingThursday, 08 February 2024 at 19:06
Alejandro Osorio, rider of the GW Erco Shimano team, won the third stage of the Tour Colombia. The intensity was palpable in the last moments of the race, where a crash affected several riders with pretensions for victory.
The circuit of the stage, with a route of 12.9 kilometers around Tunja, presented challenges for both sprinters and climbers, with steep slopes that tested the endurance of the competitors. In this context, the breakaway formed by Santiago Gómez (Team Sistecrédito) and Bernardo Suaza (Petrolike) managed to stay in the lead for much of the race, being caught 50 kilometers from the finish line by the chasing group.
An attack by Richard Carapaz, accompanied by Harold Tejada and Alejandro Osorio, generated a moment of tension among the overall favorites.
However, they managed to catch them and, in a reduced sprint, it was Osorio himself who managed to cross the finish line in first place, securing his position as one of the main contenders in the Tour Colombia.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026
- Looks like his poor health just stomped on the rear mech of his cycling career.Onepiece09-01-2026
- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
