As we wrote yesterday, Team Colombia Coldeportes is having a training camp week in Torbole on Lake Garda. These are photos from the Punta Veleno climb they tackled yesterday that will be used for the first time in a professional race (Giro Del Trentino in April), its is rated one of the toughest climbs in Europe. The team is using Bianchi "Sempre" bikes.








Esteban Chaves left everyone behind during the climb, a rider to watch:
