The 2020 Tour de France came to an end and for Colombians it ended with many without flavors. Egan Bernal’s retirement, Nairo Quintana’s injuries, Sergio Higuita’s retirement, and the time trial that crucified Superman López were the biggest headaches. However, there were also positive chapters that exalted Colombian cycling in Europe.
We cannot forget the stage victories scored by Daniel Martínez and Superman López. Of the attacks of Nairo Quintana and Egan Bernal. Harold Tejada’s big debut on his first big lap. But above all, the kind of professionalism and resilience that Rigoberto Urán gave. When many considered it retired, the experienced beetle showed the world that he is “alive and well.”
Once again, he closed another edition of the Tour de France being top 10 in the general classification. For three weeks, he was competing hand in hand with the favorites to win the ‘Grande Bouclé’ and closed his participation with a heroic day in the Champs Elysees. The Rigoberto Urán thing is to frame as one of the most honorable performances in cycling.
Already at the finish line, he did not dare to say if he will be in the Tour de France next year, he assured that getting there is very difficult and that is why, referring to the young cyclists of Colombia, “there is respect to dad”he commented between laughs. And well earned that he has the admiration of all!
