Excitement and expectations are rising as the fourth edition of the Tour Colombia approaches, an event that not only promises great emotions but will also bring together some of the most outstanding squads of world cycling on Colombian soil during February.
Three World Tour teams and two Pro Teams will mark their presence in this prestigious event. Astana Qazaqstan Team, EF Education-Easypost and Movistar Team will arrive with their roster, yet to be fully confirmed, but already announced the participation of renowned figures such as British sprinter Mark Cavendish (Astana), Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz (EF) as well as Colombians Harold Tejada (Astana) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar), generating high expectations in the peloton.
