A week after a story in L'Equipe linked Grand Tour hopeful Miguel Angel López to Bora-Hansgrohe, the Colombian denied a move away from Astana in a press conference on Zoom on Thursday night. 

López has been training in his home country since racing stopped in March after a promising start in the Volta ao Algarve, where he finished third overall, and confirmed he will make his debut in the Tour de France when racing resumes.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
