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.
