Atapuma to TJ Sport Project in 2017
Darwin Atapuma is set to leave BMC and will instead join Project TJ Sport on a two-year contract beginning in 2017. The Colombian climber says he was offered a new deal with BMC but preferred to make the move to the new team next year managed by Giuseppe Saronni.
"My contract will expire at the end of this season and I received many proposals from other team, as well as a proposal for a renewal, however I found the project of TJ Sport very interesting and I decided to join it," Atapuma said in a press release.

"I spent three interesting years in BMC Racing Team, which I thank for having shared happy moments and for having supported me in difficulties.
"The positive mood which characterizes the project TJ Sport will give me extra motivations for achieving big goals, and the advice from a cycling hero as Saronni will be also important."
Atapuma has been on the podium in stages at the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana this year. He took over the red leader's jersey at the Vuelta this year on stage 4 and held on to it for four days until losing it to Nairo Quintana on stage 8.
