Banco de Bogotá  Special thanks to hillis91 for creating this shirt
Banco de Bogotá is the first commercial bank established in Colombia. Founded in 1870, Banco de Bogotá is the oldest commercial banking institution in Colombia, and operates through approximately 650 branches, five corporate service centers and a banking attention center in the country. It also owns bank subsidiaries in Panama and the Bahamas. In the United States, Banco de Bogotá operates two agencies, one in New York City, New York, and one in Miami, Florida.
Dominox has been chosen to be the brand new manager for this team. "Of course, I am aware of the seriousness of the situation. The management and sponsors have set really hard conditions, but I believe that our development will follow with our ideas and thoughts. And even if it won't be possible for us to gain a promotion, we will give the world the best possible cyclists coming from Colombia. The team will be relatively young, but there should be few experienced riders. They will share their knowledge with our young prospects."

In the last few days we had a special press conference. President Alejandro Figueroa - who has been in this position since 1989 - said: "We are really looking forward creating a national cycling team. Cycling is one of the most popular sports in the world, and cyclists coming from Colombia have proved that they can ride and win with the best in this business. This is our first season in which we will mainly focus on convincing more sponsors to invest in this team. Banco de Bogotá is the only sponsor so far, and therefore all costs covering all aspects of running a cycling team are quite large. But we are not afraid of it. We can create a team, and we will do it."
There was some controversy about the official presentation of the team's jersey. Many people are saying that it doesn't look impressive, but rather poorly.
"We like minimalism. As we don't have any additional sponsors, the team's jersey looks just like that. The emerald color corresponds to this particular mineral. Colombia is the leading country when it comes to extracting emeralds, hence the decision of such a color. The white aspects are just a piece of art."
What are the specific goals for the team?
"We want to present ourselves more widely in Europe. The cycling team is a great move to do it. We are aware of how hard it will be to reach wider awareness of fans all over the world, but we want to stick to our nationalities and places where we have our branches. Brazil is our new export direction. That's why Brasil is our second nationality. However, we don't exclude employing cyclists not only from Colombia and Brazil, but also from the United States or Panama as we also have our branches in these countries."
Okay, now I'm done.

Press Conference - Goals and First Free Agents
Couple of days ago Director Sportive and General Manager of Banco de Bogota made first important annountment before upcoming season in CT. Journalists from around the world witnessed an information about team goals for this season.
"We are very proud to announce our goals for upcoming season. We know how hard it was and you need to understand that. We made our decisions without having single rider in our team. We only had to look on route profiles and in which country those races are. Our calendar is still not done but we will say when it will be. Our most important races are of course those in Colombia and we will try to give our best there."
Main goals are:
| Colombian Venteaux | Win | | Paris Tours | Top 5 | | | Course de Solidarnosc | Top 5 | | | Windhoek ITT | Top 10 | | Team Standings | Top 10 |
Earlier today team announced first riders that will ride for Banco de Bogota in this season. All are shown in order of the time contract was signed. Those riders are:
| Last name | First name | FL | MO | HI | TT | ST | RS | RC | CB | SP | AC | FI | DO | PR | | Sepulveda | Eduardo | 70 | 75 | 76 | 75 | 74 | 73 | 71 | 52 | 70 | 73 | 70 | 63 | 76 | | Arredondo | Julian David | 68 | 73 | 72 | 62 | 71 | 72 | 67 | 51 | 62 | 74 | 77 | 68 | 62 | | Cheyne | Jordan | 73 | 57 | 66 | 76 | 73 | 75 | 70 | 55 | 65 | 67 | 69 | 64 | 75 | | Godoy | Sergio | 68 | 74 | 75 | 65 | 72 | 71 | 67 | 56 | 58 | 63 | 67 | 64 | 66 | | Moyano | Enzo | 67 | 75 | 72 | 57 | 71 | 67 | 68 | 55 | 65 | 64 | 71 | 56 | 57 | | Camargo | Jonathan | 70 | 75 | 70 | 64 | 66 | 73 | 70 | 51 | 60 | 65 | 60 | 63 | 64 | | Richeze | Adrian | 70 | 61 | 65 | 72 | 73 | 70 | 71 | 59 | 76 | 74 | 70 | 63 | 74 |
"We are very satisfied of our first riders. 1,2m€ for wages isn't that much if you think about that. First days of transfer season were very hot and it was really hard to find riders who were interested to be a part of this project. We are also really close to finish three very important deals with other teams so it's only the matter of time before you will know the names of another riders. All first 7 cyclists were free agents and decided to join us. We will give them the opportunities to show the world what they can do. We decided to expand our searching and we will sign riders not only from Colombia, Brazil, USA and possibly Panama but also from other countries from North and South America regions."
Another press conference is expected to happen in the upcoming days. The team will probably tell us more about another transfers. |

Some decent allrounders, Sepulveda is a pretty good stage racer, shame our Lithuanian kids are not interested in winning prestigious races |

Sepulveda is a very interesting rider, and I was certainly interested in him. But I'm glad he ended up in a CT team so he can shine there. Good signings! |
