PREVIEW | Tour Colombia 2024 stage 3: A stage with the profile of a classic that can make the general classification explode
Cycling
Preview. A new edition of the Tour Colombia will take place between February 6 and 11, 2024, with the participation of WorldTour teams such as Movistar, Astana plus EF Education and some international stars who will face a tough course that will also give sprinters a chance.
Tunja hosted the national championships and it will also see the start and finish of stage 3 of the nation's main event. It is a day that consists of 11 laps of a hilly circuit. Two small ascents of 600 meters at 7.6% and 500 meters at 7.4%. The repetition of these efforts throughout the 142 kilometers can see the race explode and create interesting scenarios which can include a general classification fight.
The stage victory could be among the men in the general classification and the profile is perfect for a man like Richard Carapaz. We will have to check the strength of Egan Bernal, Nairo Quintana or Alexey Lutsenko and we can't rule out another breakaway with men like Oscar Sevilla or the winner of the second stage Harold Tejada.
Prediction Tour Colombia 2024 stage 3:
*** Richard Carapaz
** Egan Bernal, Esteban Chaves, Nairo Quintana, Alexey Lutsenko
* Óscar Sevilla, Harold Tejada, Iván Sosa, Rigoberto Urán
Pick: Richard Carapaz
Preview written by Rúben Silva and Juan Larra.

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.
James2631826-12-2024 - Not sure that can be true, in that USA Cycling is part of the UCI.acem8226-12-2024
- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- A sociopath is an informal term used to describe someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a chronic pattern of disregard for social norms, laws, and the rights and feelings of others.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
