The most important competitions in Europe do not stop, although several events have already been held in the calendar, some of them leaving Colombian cyclists victories of great importance for the personal record, the team and, of course, for national pedalism. As happened with riders such as Nairo Quintana (Arkea Samsic), Daniel Felipe Martínez (Ineos Grenadiers) and Antioquia's Sergio Higuita this year with Bora hansgrohe, who won the overall rankings of four competitions: Tour de la Provence and the Alpes-Maritimes Tour in the case of Quintana, Vuelta al País Vasco for Martínez and Catalonia for Higuita.
Within the winning harvest there are also 13 stage wins so far in the 2022 season for coffee riders in 4 different continents. This positions them as one of the riders with the best results and most regularity in the first four months of the season, so they arrive as favorites in the different races.
