The Tour Colombia, the most emblematic race of Colombian cycling in recent years, has almost defined the route and the departments of Boyacá and Cundinamarca have set foot to host the competition.
The race, which has not been held since 2020, returns to the scene, thanks to the support of the national government and the contribution of the Colombian Cycling Federation.
