Colombian cycling in the women's sector continues to take sure steps towards a better present and future. Although in Colombia there are few competitions for female cyclists, it is there that new talents are managed to be seen abroad.
Cases such as that of runner Laura Lozano, who opened space in the old continent a few years ago showing her ability to be with the best cyclists on the world tour and in the most important races on the women's calendar, shows that although at a slow pace, they are increasingly looking at coffee quarries to take them pedaling to other latitudes.
