PREVIEW | Tour Colombia 2024 stage 3: A stage with the profile of a classic that can make the general classification explode

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.

*** Richard Carapaz
** Egan Bernal, Esteban Chaves, Nairo Quintana, Alexey Lutsenko

Pick: Richard Carapaz
