Richard Carapaz will make his debut in the pink jersey of EF Education-EasyPost on Sunday when he lines out at the Ecuadorian Championships road race, which takes place in his hometown of Tulcan.

The 29-year-old joined the team this winter after three seasons with Ineos Grenadiers. Carapaz spent two-and-a-half weeks off the bike after undergoing a tonsillectomy in mid-December, but he resumed training in early January.
