Analysis

The big ‘party’ of top-tier Colombian cycling around the world will be moving in 2019 -following the itinerant race concept initiated by the Colombian Cycling Federation- to the Antioquia province, which will be holding the 2nd edition of a Tour Colombia whose route matches its early location in the UCI calendar.

That’s the reason why there won’t be any big mountains before the final weekend, even if the whole race is held in altitude. A team time trial in Medellín (14km, Tuesday 12th February) will be the lowest point of the event (just over 1,400m above sea level), which will go back to the capital on Friday 15th for a semi-urban course (6 laps, 144km) finishing next to the Estadio Atanasio Girardot.

Following that TTT plus three likely bunch sprints -the finishes at La Ceja (Wednesday 13th) and Llanogrande (Thursday 14th) do not feature major climbs, either-, the mountains will finally come. Saturday 16th’s stage five comprises three laps of a circuit around the ascents to Nano (Cat-3) and La Unión (Cat-2); after that, on Sunday 17th, a mountain-top showdown at the Alto de Las Palmas (15.5km, 6.3% avg.), its top 2,435m above sea level.
