PREVIEW | Vuelta a Colombia 2023 stage 1: First chance for the sprinters
CyclingSaturday, 17 June 2023 at 10:35
Preview. The Vuelta a Colombia 2023 has already begun. After the prologue, cycling enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the remaining nine stages full of excitement that promise to continue to be a true test of endurance and skill on the bike.
While the absence of Nairo Quintana, one of the great stars of Colombian cycling, has left a void in the event, another cyclist has emerged as the big star of the South American round: Miguel Angel Lopez. With his imposing talent and determination, Lopez could not have started in a better way after winning the prologue with a time of 10 minutes and five seconds, positioning himself as the favorite to win the Vuelta a Colombia 2023.
The first online stage, also starting and finishing in Yopal, will cover 197.3 kilometers. This stage will start with steep terrain and will feature two fourth-category mountain passes that will determine the first leader of the Mountain classification. The final part will be mostly flat, which could provide opportunities for the sprinters.
This and the second stage will be the only ones in which the sprinters have a chance to win in a Vuelta a Colombia that will be very hilly. Miguel Angel Lopez is the current overall leader, 17 seconds ahead of his Team Medellin - EPM teammate Fabio Duarte, 2nd, and Rodrigo Contreras of Colombia Pacto Por El Deporte, 3rd at 18 seconds.
