Current season

Colombia (UCI team code: COL) was a Colombian UCI Professional Continental cycling team based in Adro (Italy) that participated in races on the UCI Continental Circuits and UCI World Tour.[2]

In January 2012 it was announced that the team had received invites to the Italian classic races Tirreno–Adriatico, Milan–San Remo and Giro di Lombardia.[3] They were invited to ride the 2013 Giro d'Italia.[4] The team was also invited to the 2014 Giro d'Italia,[5] where during the tenth stage of the race, members of the team wore a white cockade, in memory of the people who died in the Fundación bus fire in Colombia.[6] In 2015 they were invited to the Vuelta a España for the first time.[7] At 30 August it became clear that Cano, Qunitero and Ávila who all cycle for Team Colombia, was picked out for Colombia National Team at the 2015 UCI Road World Championships in Richmond, Virginia.[8]

In October 2015, the team announced they would be disbanding and not returning for the 2016 season, citing shortfalls in sponsorship from the Colombian Sports Ministry.[9]
