Top riders could skip Colombian National Championships due to event postponement

The Colombian Cycling Federation announced Sunday that it has postp🐬oned its National Ch𓃲ampionships by three weeks, a move that could force the nation’s top riders to have to skip it entirely.

The event was set to be held from February 4-7 in Boyaca, but it has been moved last-minute to February 17-21 due to ‘administrative reasons’ on a notice posted on the federation’s website. President of the federation Agustin Moreno Aristizabal and general manager Jorge Ovidio Gonzalez informed the teams and the public this weekend. The𒈔 new date was agreed upon by the local municipalities but has not yet been signed off on.

The notice also said that delays were in part due to the route not being ready and that their main priority was the welfare of the cyclists. “💧Most important for our institution and for the organization 🐻is to always provide the best conditions for cyclists and for the caravan that accompanies them.

“Therefore these changes are reported in advance in anticipation of a further notice of local governments to finalize agreements and receive the participants in the 💫best scenꩵario,” the statement read.

The date change could cause riders like Rigoberto Uran (Cannondale Pro Cycling), Sergio Henao (Team Sky), Carlos Betancur (Movistar) to skip the event because of race obligations with their te꧑ams.

Some of the other races taking place during that weekend are To😼ur of Oman, Volta ao Algarve, Vuelta a Andalucia and the Tour de Langkawi.
