VARIOUS, SCREEN SHOWING VIRTUAL TOURNAMENT STORY: Colombian cyclist Rigoberto Uran is used to stiff competition from fellow road racers, but he was shocked recently when a humble Colombian farm worker came right up on his tail while he was out training.

Uran was doing an individual time trial while training on the rural highways outside Medellin, Colombia when he peeked behind him to see Ivan Dario Jimenez, a worker at a flower farm, easily keeping pace behind.

Uran was so impressed he later showed up at Jimenez's workplace, ostensibly to take him to Medellin so that the pair could participate in a virtual tournament together.

But, when Jimenez arrived, Uran surprised him by outfitting him with a brand new bike and gear from his Go Rigo Go!

Store.

Uran has finished in second place at both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France and won the silver medal in the road race at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
