With many nations now beginning to confirm their riders for the very hilly course for the Olympic Games Road Race in Rio, Colombia have confirmed their nation’s biggest stars to their team.

Movistar’s Nairo Quintana and Orica-GreenEDGE’s Esteban Chaves re joined by Cannondale’s Rigoberto Uran, Astana’s Miguel Angel Lopez and Sergio Henao of Sky.

"We chose these riders based on their careers, form, and experience - in the case of Rigoberto Urán and Sergio Henao - at past Olympics," said national coach Carlos Jaramillo.

"Miguel López is in there because he's a rider with a great future who has proven himself in big races. Also, it's a course for climbers and he could lend us a very good hand in that respect."
