Jhon Darwin Atapuma Hurtado
Happy to be a part of Colombia's ongoing cycling legacy.

During a long transfer at the Giro d'Italia this year, most riders from Team Colombia sat at the front of bus. They joked and laughed endlessly, pausing only from time to time to look at the profile of following day's stage, which itself induced nervous laughter from all of them. In the back of the bus, the mood was different. Two riders slept, laying down with comfortable pillows, and along with them was John Darwin Atapuma Hurtado. Atapuma was awake, but he too chose to lay down in silence, giving only his iPhone any attention. For roughly two hours, the native of Túquerres, Nariño (a small town with a population of 41,000 near the Ecuadorian border) played Piano Dust Buster, a musical Tetris-like game that has the user press piano keys to play simple, mostly-classical songs. He did this as the sound from his phone played through a Bluetooth speaker for everyone on the bus to hear. After nearly an hour, his fellow teammates urged Puma (as he’s known) to please “put some real music on”. He obliged, and an endless string of bachata songs came through the speaker. Darwin would tell me later in the hotel lobby that he simply likes classical music, and dreams of buying a piano one day, and would love to learn how to play.
