It appears that Sky Procycling, closing their line-up for next season, acts in accordance with the principle that you should not change a winning formula.. After signing Mikel Nieve from folded Euskaltel, who seemingly is going to slip in Uran’s shoes just perfectly but without complaints of possible leadership, the team took the next step to maintain a status quo by introducing to the World Tour another Colombian youngster: Sebastian Henao.
Rumors on the transfer of Sergio Henao’s cousin to the same team that came up almost two months ago and have been reported on cyclingquotes.com, were finally confirmed yesterday by a 20-year-old Colombian.
“I am very pleased and cartain for signing with Sky, [Sky Procycling] is a great team.”
“With the support of Sergio, the goal is to adapt as quickly as possible to European cycling. In the first week of December I will travel to my first camp and I hope all turns out more than good ", Henao told revistamundociclisto.com
Sebastian who has been part of the Colombia-Coldeportes team this season, recently finished as best U23 rider in the Vuelta a Colombia and last year finished on the podium in the Vuelta a la Juventud and the Vuelta al Porvenir, the two biggest Colombian U23 races.
Now he’s going to be a part of Team Sky’s new Colombian Henao - Henao duo, what seems to be one of the most significant transfer patterns for the next season, since Movistar has already signed Nairo Quintana’s younger brother Dayer.
Fortunately for Omega Pharma – Quick Step, having Uran Uran in their squad means that no this kind of additions are required..
