Quintana, Uran and Lopez lead strong Colombian team for Innsbruck Worlds
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Nairo Quintana, Rigoberto Uran and Miguel Angel Lopez headline a strong Colombian team of climbers for the elite men´s road race at the World Championships in Innsbruck later this month. All three riders are currently lying in the top 10 overall at the Vuelta a España and will be expected to shine on the mountainous Austrian course, which features more than 4000 metres of total climbing and the final steep Höll climb that has section at over 20 per cent.  The eight-man squad boasts considerable strength in depth. Sergio Henao, Sebastian Henao (Team Sky) and Rodrigo Contreras (EPM Scott) have been selected, along with Uran´s EF-Drapac teammate Daniel Martínez and Quintana´s Movistar colleague Winner Anacona.ADVERTISEMENT Egan Bernal is not included in the team. The Team Sky rider impressed in finishing 15th overall at his debut Tour de France in July, but he has not raced since he suffered facial injuries in a crash at the Clasica San Sebastian. Another absentee is Esteban Chaves (Mitchelton-Scott), who has not raced since being diagnosed with mononucleosis after the Giro d`Italia. Colombia will also field one of the favourites for the under-23 race, with Vuelta a Burgos winner Ivan Sosa (Androni-Sidermec) leading the five-man selection. The 20-year-old Sosa will move up to WorldTour level with Trek-Segafredo in 2019 and has impressed throughout this season. He beat his fellow countryman Miguel Angel Lopez to win in Burgos and placed sixth overall at the Tour de l´Avenir and the Colombia Paz y Oro race. You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
