Germán Darío Gómez

Germán moved the cycling fans during the World Junior Championships when he suffered a puncture while riding in the select front group, lifted his wheel asking for assistance and began to cry inconsolably as the minutes passed and no one came to help him. A hard lesson for the young Colombian, born in Betulia, who apart from shining in the mountains has also proved his worth in time trials. His good performance in Europe, where he finished just short of the podium in the under-23 Giro, attracted the attention of Polti Kometa, who signed him in 2024 to reinforce their options in the mid-mountains. Germán’s smile and enthusiasm in his way to success in cycling is always accompanied by his family. To make him happy, a holiday in the countryside, far from the city, a fish meal and his pet cats.
