Esteban Chaves, the renowned Colombian cyclist currently riding on the road with the
EF Education-EasyPost team, has announced the exciting news of the creation of his own team.
Beyond his outstanding individual career, Chaves seeks to leave a lasting impact on Colombian cycling by forming a team that will support young talent. The initiative comes as part of the cyclist's foundation, which is focused on promoting the development of new talent in the sport.
In the last few hours, there has been a call for young cyclists, and some of them are very close to joining the Esteban Chaves Foundation team. Names such as Juan Manuel Aristizábal Apolinar, Samuel Martínez Jiménez, Farid Alejandro Hastamorir González, Josue López Benítez, among others, are already being evaluated to be part of this ambitious project. The selection process involves exhaustive tests over the course of a month, where the cyclists who will make up the team will be defined.
This new team led by Chaves represents an invaluable opportunity for young Colombian talent aspiring to excel in professional cycling. As Esteban continues to pursue his own achievements in international competition, he demonstrates his ongoing commitment to the development of cycling in his home country by providing support and opportunities for the next generation of Colombian riders. The consolidation of this team in 2024 promises to be a significant milestone in the history of Colombian cycling.
