After the demise of Team Colombia, Miguel Angel Rubiano and Carlos Julian Quintero will return to their home country of Colombia with the Coldeportes-Claro team in 2016 as confirmed by El Tiempo.

Rubiano (1984) has not found a spot in Europe after two years with Androni and the last two with Team Colombia. National champion in 2014 and winner of a stage in the 2012 Giro d'Italia, he will continue his career in his home country.

Quintero (1986), meanwhile, has spent the last four seasons with Team Colombia. In 2015 won the mountains jersey at the Tirreno-Adriatico and was very combative.

As confirmed by Jesus Piedrahita in El Tiempo, the team will be composed of 11 riders, including Luis Felipe Laverde, Camilo Gomez and Alejandro Ramirez, and nine U23 riders.

From the Colombia team, only three riders have managed to remain professional: Leonardo Duque (Delko-Marseille), Daniel Martinez (Team Southeast) and Rodolfo Torres (Androni). The rest will drop to continental level in their home country: Alex Cano and Carlos Ramírez (Orgullo Antioqueño), Jorge Camilo Castiblanco, Edward Díaz and Walter Pedraza (GW-Shimano), Fabio Duarte and Cayetano Sarmiento (EPM-UNE) and Sebastián Molano (Manzana-Postobón). Edwin Ávila has joined Team Iluminate in the US.
