The Tour Colombia will return to the UCI calendar in 2024. The race, which saw some of the world's top cyclists take on Colombian roads in 2018 and 2020, had been suspended in 2021 due to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, thanks to the Colombian Cycling Federation and the influence of some private companies, the Tour Colombia is preparing to regain its place on the international scene. Local cyclists such as Egan Bernal, Sergio Higuita, Daniel Martínez, Rigoberto Urán and international figures such as Chris Froome, Julian Alaphilippe and Richard Carapaz have raced this event in the past.
“After a series of discussions and mutual commitments in favor of Colombian sport, the Ministry of Sports has agreed to provide support to the Colombian cycling federation to organize the fourth edition of the round," the cycling association said in a press release.
Past winners of the race include, Egan Bernal who won the very first edition five years ago. In 2019, the overall victory went to his compatriot Miguel Ángel López and in 2020 it was Sergio Higuita proved to be the best in the final classification.

- What this article doesn't mention is the influence of Vingegaards wife (25 tour), whereas Pogs gf doesn't seem to be like so, tho she is a cyclist and knows the scene. When JV won his tours his interviews where certainly not extrovert, very, 'we done the job and that's it, Pogs certainly more verbally animated and it's his personality on the cycle too. JV's had to follow the last few tours, tho if he can get calm & his wife don't pipe up then I think he can do a good ride..

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!
