Winner Andrew Anacona Gomez (born 11 August 1988) is a Colombian road cyclist, who rides for Colombian amateur team .
Career Lampre–ISD (2012–2014) He impressed the team managers after getting second place of the 2011 Girobio, a smaller version of the Giro d'Italia for younger riders. The team signed him for 2012 and 2013. In December 2012, Anacona was injured in a training crash, after he collided with a dog. He suffered a broken peroneal malleolus and dislocated his ankle bone.
In the mountainous 2014 Tour of Utah, Anacona helped his leader Chris Horner obtain the second place of the race, taking the third step of the podium himself. On the mountaintop finish of Stage 9 of the 2014 Vuelta a España, Anacona almost took the leader's jersey by soloing to the line for the stage victory. He attacked from a breakaway of 31 riders and missed the top spot in the overall classification by a mere 9 seconds.
Movistar Team (2015–2019) In 2015, Anacona went to on an initial two-year contract. He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.
Arkéa–Samsic (2020–2022) In September 2019, it was announced that Anacona – along with Dayer Quintana and Nairo Quintana – was moving to the team for the 2020 season. During his three years with the team, he won the 2021 Trofeo Andratx–Mirador d'Es Colomer – held as part of the Vuelta a Mallorca – and the mountains classification at the 2022 Route d'Occitanie.
Personal life Anacona was named after cyclists Peter Winnen and Andrew Hampsten, but due to a mistake, his first name became Winner instead of Winnen.
