Career
[edit]Born in Pácora, Caldas, Restrepo was a competitive swimmer during his youth, winning four national titles in Colombia.
According to Restrepo, he and his manager contacted a number of UCI WorldTeams via Facebook from December 2014 with a view to gaining a professional contract, and after becoming Pan-American Under-23 Champion in 2015, he received an offer from Katusha for a position as a stagiaire that season, subsequently remaining with the team for 2016.[1] He participated in the 2015 Pan American Games, placing first in the team pursuit. He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España.[7]
After three seasons with Katusha, Restrepo joined Colombian team Team Manzana Postobón for the 2019 season, before moving to Italian squad Androni Giocattoli–Sidermec the following year.[3][2] In February of that year, he took his first professional wins at the Tour du Rwanda, winning four stages in total. In October, he competed in the 2020 Giro d'Italia.[8] He stayed with the team through 2023, winning the Giro della Città Metropolitana di Reggio Calabria in his final season before joining another Italian team, Polti–Kometa, in 2024.[5] While riding for the Colombian national team in February 2024, he took the win on stage six of the Tour Colombia.[9]
