The UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) announced in an official release that Colombia Coldeportes Team is cleared to take part in the upcoming Vuelta a Colombia June 12th to 24th.
The announcement came after the UCI received all the necessary clarifications about Coldeportes’ sponsorship, as the Colombian institute of sports is currently endorsing two different teams – Pro Continental Colombia Coldeportes and Continental Colombia-Comcel, both supposed to take part in the Colombian race.
After the investigation by its technical commission, the UCI confirmed that the two teams hold different structures and administrations, hence there is no reason to rule Colombia Coldeportes out of their highly-anticipated home event.
The team has flown back to Colombia to rejoin their families after four months in Italy, while the 10-man line-up starting in Puerto Gaitan on June 12th will be released within a few days.
