After some days spent in the area of Bergamo, where they will live throughout the whole cycling season, Colombia Coldeportes’ riders reached Torbole sul Garda (Trento, Italy) along with the staff on Friday January 27th.
The team arrived at Aktivhotel at around 19.30, and enjoyed dinner together while talking about their training camp program for the days to come.
The Escarabajos will train in the Lake Garda area from through friday february 3rd, when they will move to Tuscany to take part to the GP Etruscan Coast, on February 4th.
Sports Director Valerio Tebaldi explained the team’s first program for the day : “We’ll be starting at 10:00 for a four-hour ride along the Lake Garda.
Hopefully, we will have good weather and conditions to make some good training and be ready when the racing season actually starts.”
A highlight of Colombia Coldeportes’ training camp will come on monday january 30th, when the team will face the dreadful gradients of Punta de Venono, an incredibly hard climb (11% average gradient, peaking at 21%) that will come at the end of the 2.012 Giro del Trentino’s third stage.
Good conditioning is not the only focus for next week: during seven days in Torbole, the whole team will have a valuable chance to get a better feel for each other, and improve their blend.
Nevertheless, riders will need to give their best and impress the technical staff in order to win a nod for the season opening race.
