Rigoberto Uran
Choosing to forego revenge, and looking to the future instead

Alps&Andes, Alps&Andes, 12 January 2016
Posted by: Bitossi

When Rigoberto Urán was only 14 years old, his father was gunned down near Urrao, Colombia. Most said he died at the hands of paramilitary forces, but considering the mood in Colombia at the time, it could have been any number of groups, for any number of reasons. As Urán himself has said in the past, "...it was how things were back then. Many innocent people died." Encouraged by his father, Rigoberto had competed in his first bike race just three months earlier. They had trained together during those three months, wearing regular street clothes, since proper cycling attire was simply beyond what the family could afford.
