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.
We arrive at the stage that will surely decide the Tour Colombia 2024. Among the favourites, Egan Bernal and Rigoberto Urán have a dozen seconds over Richard Carapaz and Nairo Quintana. An exciting day of cycling awaits us in South America.
A very easy day map-wise. The riders start in Cota and head to the Alto del Vino. Then, we've got a large descent and a few rolling roads, before turning back and going back up the same mountain. This is the queen stage of the race with no doubt and a brutal one. A summit finish at over 2800 meters of altitude, the climb is over 30 kilometers long at 5.7% and features some tougher sections. A brutal climbing test that should see great performances.
Stage 5: Cota - Alto del Vino, 138.3 kilometers
