History

The idea for a Vuelta a Colombia Femenina had been considered for many years by the Colombian Cycling Federation, who organised the men's Vuelta a Colombia event. The Vuelta a Colombia Femenina is supported by Coldeportes, a Colombian Government Organisation for the promotion of sport and private enterprise.[1] After the 2016 Vuelta a Colombia Femenina, the Colombian Cycling Federation announced that the 2017 Vuelta a Colombia Femenina Oro y Paz would be upgraded to a UCI 2.2 event.[2]

The 2017 event ran between 24 and 29 October. The race began with a 6.6 kilometres (4.1 mi) prologue time trial around Zarzal, before stages in the traditional municipalities of Valle del Cauca, including the cities of Buga and Cartago, Risaralda and Caldas. The last stage finished at the Plaza de Toros de Manizales.[3] Ana Sanabria won the race for the second year in a row.[4]

The 2018 event ran between 10 and 14 October, with one time trail, two medium mountain stages, and two flat stages. The route passed through Cundinamarca, Boyacá, and Santander.[5] The race was won for a third time by Ana Sanabria.[6][7]

The 2019 event passed through Caldas, Risaralda and Valle del Cauca, and the final stage was a 74 kilometres (46 mi) circuit of Pereira.[8] The race was won by Chilean Aranza Villalón, the first non-Colombian to do so.[8][9]

gollark: I assume your issue is with that and not the actual FTS ranking/searching?
