In its third year in the professional ranks, Team Colombia is set to make another significant step on its path to the highest level of World cycling. On Friday February 28th, Tour de France organizing company ASO announced Team Colombia among the wildcard teams for two of its most prestigious classics: Fleche Wallonne (April 23rd) and Liege-Bastogne-Liege (April 27th).

 

It will be Team Colombia’s first time at “La Doyenne”, reaching in 2014 its centenary edition.

 

“To be selected for a Monument classic like Liege-Bastogne-Liege obviously marks another milestone in the history of our team. It’s one of the greatest races in the World, and we can’t wait to show the Colombian colors at La Doyenne,” General Manager Claudio Corti said.

 

“We are also very proud of being selected for the Fleche Wallonne for the third time. That shows how the value and progress of our project is getting recognized all around the World. Team Colombia is more and more proving to be the ideal springboard for Colombian prospects to make their big jump to the international stage, and we are excited of getting the chance to show up in the Ardennes again in 2014.”
