The 1983 season: Colombia storms the world stage
1983 stands as the year Colombia made its Tour de France debut — and immediately turned heads. The Colombian squad arrived as an unknown quantity, but in the Alps and the Pyrenees, these climbers from the Andes proved they belonged. Born at altitude, they attacked the cols with a style and tenacity that left the European peloton scrambling. Their performances that summer sparked a love affair between Colombian cycling and the grand mountain stages of European racing that endures to this day.
