When Eusebio Unzué sat down with reporters in the lobby of the Hotel Estelar in Paipa on the eve of the Tour Colombia, conversation naturally turned to his first visit to these parts in the autumn of 1995.
At that year’s World Championships, Unzué was in the team car behind Miguel Induráin when he claimed time trial gold in Tunja, and he was on hand four days later when Miguelón helped Abraham Olano to Spain’s first road race title. The Colombian exhibition ended with a failed attempt at the Hour Record in Bogotá, but it did little to sour the memories.
