One of the most anticipated events by the entire Colombian cycling community will arrive this November 11 and 12. This is the Giro de Rigo Central Edition 2023, a contest that on this occasion will have luxury guests, including the Belgian Wout Van Aert.
The Giro de Rigo led by Rigoberto Urán, will arrive in the beautiful department of Cundinamarca and will have more than 5,000 amateur cyclists riding through one of the most spectacular geographies, but at the same time one of the most rugged -due to its climate-, which will be a special ingredient and it will seem like one of the great challenges to overcome for all participants.
This year, as usual, we will have great guests, not only the presence of Rigo being the luxury host, but also Santiago Buitrago, a cyclist of such class and already winner of two stages in the Giro d’Italia; to the Argentine rapporteur Mario Sábato; and the sports director of Education Easy Post Juan Manuel Garate.
They will also be sharing Sergio Luis Henao, winner of a Paris Nice; Mauricio Soler, living legend of our cycling who knew how to be one of the best climbers of his time; Oscar Sevilla, the Spanish friend of the house and inexhaustible cyclist; Jarlinson Pantano, cyclist who won a stage in the Tour de France; and Sergio Higuita, one of the current talents of the world peloton.
And to close with a flourish, it will be the first time in Colombia for the multi-talented and virtuoso Belgian cyclist Wout Van Aert, considered by a large part of the fans and the press as the most complete cyclist, not only today, but also one one of the most complete in all of history. “We will have the opportunity to have him close, ride and share with him some unique spaces, something unthinkable to date” but thanks to the Giro de Rigo we will make it a reality,” the organizers reported.
Along with them we will have the participation of cyclists from different latitudes such as the United States, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, Chile and all the departments of Colombia, once again consolidating the Giro de Rigo as an event of international stature.
