Since 1973, Colombia has been part of the Giro d'Italia, when Martín Emilio Cochise Rodríguez participated for the first time in this competition. On this occasion, there are six Colombians who have decided to get on the bike and run in the pink jersey: Egan Bernal, Daniel Felipe Martínez, Harold Tejada, Einer Rubio, Juan Molano and Fernando Gaviria. They will have to travel more than 3,400 kilometers through various regions of Italy if they want to achieve victory.
