Miguel Ángel López confirmed to return to Europe, leading Team Medellín-EPM at Tour of Hellas

Miguel Ángel López is in litigation with his former team, Astana Qazaqstan Team, for unfair dismissal. While it is being resolved, he has taken a different decision to Nairo Quintana, and has gone to compete in Colombia in the ranks of Team Medellin - EPM. He will return to Europe this week to compete in the Tour of Hellas.

Since the beginning of the year he has been shining in different races in America and now, finally, he will return to Europe to continue demonstrating his quality. Specifically, 'Superman' will compete in the Tour of Hellas where he should be one of the main favourites over the Greek race.

Thus, between May 3 and 6, the team from Antioquia will travel to Greece to compete in the stage race. It will be his first participation in a European race since he raced the Veneto Classic with Astana last October.

This season Miguel Angel Lopez has won the Clasica de Ciclismo Ciudad de Villeta, the overall and a stage of the Vuelta a San Juan, the Colombian time trial championship, the overall and 2 stages of the Vuelta a Tolima and 2 stages of the Vuelta Bantrab (second overall). The last has been a second place in the time trial of the Pan-American Games.
