Cannondale-Drapac cycling team, sponsored and powered byRockTape, earned an impressive runner-up spot in the2017 Tour de France. ColumbianRigoberto Uran secured 2nd place in Paris on Sunday and described it as the greatest achievement of his career.

The team, consisting of four Americans and four tour debutants, showed great heart and determination to propel Rigoberto onto the podium. Despite a stage win inChambery, it is a whole other feat to secure an overall Tour win. However, on a much smaller budget, to finish within range of cycling behemoth,Team Sky, was a remarkable achievement.

Rigoberto’s performance and off-the-road uncensored humor has established him as a folk hero in his native Columbia.Speaking with his team, Uran said “finishing second toFroome at less than a minute seems pretty good to me. It’s a quality podium in Paris, so this is the greatest success of my career.”
