He won a surprise victory in the first stage of the race, opening his sprint early and beating 2011 world champion Mark Cavendish of the team into second place.

Cavendish finally won a stage in the final stage of the event, with Gaviria finishing a close second. Following these high-profile victories, there were reports that several UCI World Tour teams were seeking to sign Gaviria, including , though he committed his 2015 season to riding with the Colombian national team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/news-shorts-gaviria-courted-by-worldtour-greipel-and-valverde-to-mallorca )〕 Later reports suggested that his most likely 2016 team was Cavendish's own team.〔 It was also revealed that Gaviria had been recommended in 2014 to Patrick Lefevere, the manager of , but the team declined to sign him. Following Gaviria's success at the Tour de San Luis, Lefevere called this a "mistake". In February 2015, Lefevere announced that Gaviria would be undergoing tests with after the 2015 UCI Track World Championships, a further move towards a contract for 2016. Lefevere also said that such a contract would not prevent Gaviria competing in the 2016 Olympic Games. Following these tests, Gaviria signed a contract for 2016 with , along with fellow Colombian Rodrigo Contreras. Gaviria's plans to ride in the 2016 Olympic Games were affirmed by Lefevere; he also suggested that Gaviria might ride as a ''stagiaire'' for the team during 2015. In February 2015, Gaviria competed for Colombia in the track World Championships in the omnium competition. Although he won none of the six events, he was consistent throughout. In the concluding points race, he was able to gain an early lap on the field, giving him a large advantage; he was then able to mark his closest rival, Elia Viviani, and secured a comfortable overall victory to win the rainbow jersey. Gaviria made his debut for Etixx-Quick Step as a ''stagiaire'' in August 2015 at the 2015 RideLondon–Surrey Classic. He finished in eighth position, the highest-placed Etixx-Quickstep rider.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/Prudential_RideLondon_Surrey_Classic_2015 )〕 His next race for the team was in the Czech Cycling Tour, where Etixx-Quick Step won the first stage, a team time trial.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.procyclingstats.com/race.php?id=150692&c=1 )〕 The following day Gaviria won his first individual stage victory for the team, winning a reduced bunch sprint. After this race, it was Tour of Britain, where Gaviria managed to take one stage win ahead of several world class sprinters as André Greipel and Elia Viviani. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernando Gaviria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
