Janier Alexis Acevedo Calle (born 6 December 1985) is a Colombian professional road racing cyclist who rides for UCI ProTeam Garmin-Sharp.[1]
Career
2013 season
While riding for Jamis-Hagens Berman in 2013, he won a mountaintop finish on Stage 2 of the Tour of California, twelve seconds ahead of eventual overall winner, Tejay van Garderen of BMC Racing Team.[2] He subsequently finished third overall in the Tour, and briefly wore the leader's jersey before van Garderen claimed it.[3]
In September 2013, it was announced that Acevedo would move to the Omega Pharma-Quick Step squad for the 2014 season.[4] However, a month later, Acevedo was said to have broken a "verbal agreement" with Omega Pharma-Quick Step, with the intention to join Garmin-Sharp instead.[1][5][6]
