A report in Ciclismo Internacional claims that the Tour Colombia will not take place in 2023 either. It was last organised in 2020.

Neither the UCI calendar nor the Colombian Cycling Federation's website lists the race for 2023. Financial constraints are one of the main reasons for this decision. The race was first held in 2018 and quickly gained popularity in the region.

This race used to be attended by many well-known cyclists such as Julian Alaphilippe, Rigoberto Urán, Nairo Quintana, and Fernando Gaviria. Sergio Higuita was the winner of the 2020 edition, Miguel Ángel López celebrated the victory in 2019, and Egan Bernal won the first edition of the tour in 2018.

La esperanza de mantener vivo el Tour Colombia terminó, la carrera no se celebrará por tercer año consecutivo. Con este escenario adverso se pierde la única oportunidad de que equipos locales tuvieran tener roce con el pelotón WT y el país pierde proyección en UCI America
