Tour Colombia 2.1 teams presentation – Gallery

The teams set to compete at the 2019 Tour Colombia 2.1 (February 12-17) were presented to the public and the media at the Atanasio Girardot football stadium in downtown Medellin on Sunday.

Loud pop music, mariachi bands and local youth choirs added to the party atmosphere as Colombia welcomed the likes of Team Sky's Chris Froome and Egan Bernal, Movistar's Nairo Quintana and EF Education First's Rigoberto Uran, for whom the loudest cheers were saved for, with chants of "Rigo, Rigo, Rigo" echoing around the stadium.

Check out our gallery of the teams presentation above.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
