Local cyclist Jonathan Paredes has been run over in Colombia, in another tragic reminder of the dangers that come with cycling. The accident took place on a road between Paipa and Duitama, in the area of Boyacá, where Paredes was a native of.
A pickup truck with 3 people on board (who were injured) was the one that ended the life of a 35-year-old cyclist from Duitama who began his cycling career in the Supergiros-Aguardiente Blanco del Valle team and went on to race the Vuelta a Colombia.
The team at CyclingUpToDate send our condolences to Paredes and his loved ones.

- Absolutely! He is incredible, he easily went up and down with the GC riders.
maria2024202409-06-2025 - IMHO he has more muscle mass than ever! Yeah! The last 3 stages will be more interesting because of this "new" variable.maria2024202409-06-2025
- Jonas is good enough to capitalize on a bad day for Pogi. That can be enough to win the TdF. He's just highly unlikely to win if neither have a bad day.Veganpotter09-06-2025
- Totally! JV sprinting well with no racing, RE catching up well with inspiration from Yates, MVDP climbing well with injury on MTB training, and Pog just being well, Pog, with a useless team. Hard to imagine a better scenario with all the upcoming talent coming to test them. Feel sorry for sprinters, they might only get side roles if it’s a GC battle from the go. But, let’s enjoy this week first and keep fingers crossed that for once there’ll be no major crashes.Mistermaumau09-06-2025
- His problem, besides everything, he doesn’t know what he wants and so dilutes his strength everywhere, he’s no Pog or MVDP and probably won’t ever be.Mistermaumau09-06-2025
- It was just risky, not silly. Might be worth having a quiet word with a select lesser-known rider or two for your next attempt.Mistermaumau09-06-2025
- Cogs or outfit?Jumpyjohn09-06-2025
- Jonas was very light with less muscle mass in 2024 due to his time off the bike. I think he is in prime climbing form, I expect this week to be intresting.awp09-06-2025
- Jonas looks stronger, with more muscle mass than ever. Will that extra weight influence in his climbing skill? I can't wait to watch the last 3 stages!maria2024202409-06-2025
- Jonas puts some muscle kilos in his body... I'm very curious to understand if that will be translated in climbing less easy for him.maria2024202409-06-2025
