Winner Andrew Anacona Gomez (born 11 August 1988) is a Colombian road cyclist, who rides for Colombian amateur team Colombia Pacto por el Deporte. [4]
He impressed the Lampre–ISD team managers after getting second place of the 2011 Girobio, a smaller version of the Giro d'Italia for younger riders. [5] The team signed him for 2012 and 2013. In December 2012, Anacona was injured in a training crash, after he collided with a dog. He suffered a broken peroneal malleolus and dislocated his ankle bone. [5]
In the mountainous 2014 Tour of Utah, Anacona helped his leader Chris Horner obtain the second place of the race, taking the third step of the podium himself. [6] On the mountaintop finish of Stage 9 of the 2014 Vuelta a España, Anacona almost took the leader's jersey by soloing to the line for the stage victory. He attacked from a breakaway of 31 riders and missed the top spot in the overall classification by a mere 9 seconds. [7]
In 2015, Anacona went to Movistar Team on an initial two-year contract. [8] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France. [9]
In September 2019, it was announced that Anacona – along with Dayer Quintana and Nairo Quintana – was moving to the Arkéa–Samsic team for the 2020 season. [10] During his three years with the team, he won the 2021 Trofeo Andratx–Mirador d'Es Colomer – held as part of the Vuelta a Mallorca – and the mountains classification at the 2022 Route d'Occitanie. [11] [12]
Anacona was named after cyclists Peter Winnen and Andrew Hampsten, but due to a mistake, his first name became Winner instead of Winnen. [13]
