Juan Pablo Forero on Bianchi Sempre took his first seasonal win at Vuelta a Colombia's stage-5, 191,6 km from Armenia to Cali, on Sunday, June 17th. Colombia Coldeportes' rider sprinted for victory ahead of Jairo Salas. After leading out Forero, his team-mate Jeffry Romero placed third.

It was the second victory for team Colombia Coldeportes and Bianchi at South-American stage-race, after Fabio Duarte's one on Bianchi Pico Crono Carbon in the opening ITT. Duarte himself keeps the second position in the GC.

At 2012 Vuelta a Colombia, the team directed by Valerio Tebaldi and Oliverio Rincon also achieved a fifth position with Jeffry Romero in the stage-2 (in Villavicencio) and two third with Esteban Chaves in the stage-3 (in Ibague) and Duarte the day after (in Armenia).
