Cycling
With the Tour Colombia set to start on Tuesday, all of the 144 riders and 24 teams taking part have been officially unveiled at the team presentation. Among these were several UCI WorldTeams, with Astana Qazaqstan Team, EF Education-EasyPost and Movistar Team all in attendance.
In addition to the World Tour teams, the Colombian National Team stands out as one of the most exciting teams in the race, with Egan Bernal as their lead rider. He is joined by his INEOS Grenadiers teammate Brandon Smith Rivera and an experienced rider in Jhonatan Restrepo.
Among the other top names at this race is Mark Cavendish, who will make his first appearance at this race in his career, bringing with him Michael Mørkøv, Cees Bol and Alexey Lutsenko for Astana Qazaqstan Team.
Richard Carapaz will also be at the start line in Paipa for stage 1 alongside his EF Education-EasyPost teammate and fan favourite Rigoberto Urán, who is returning to this race for the first time since it was last held in 2020.
This race also marks Nairo Quintana’s return to racing with Movistar Team, after he rejoined them at the start of this season. Alongside him will be fellow Colombians Fernando Gaviria and Iván Ramiro Sosa.
Other notable riders on the startlist include 47-year-old Óscar Sevilla, who is riding his 25th season as a professional rider, Giro d’Italia stage winner Jonathan Caicedo, 2017 Paris-Nice winner Sergio Henao and Paris-Nice stage winner Niccolò Bonifazio.

- Yeah, unreal.
parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).
Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026 - There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- He should have been allowed to go to Movistar. Right now both arent a good fit for each other and are just wasting each other's time and effortabstractengineer08-11-2026
