Description

Eduardo Sepúlveda (born 13 June 1991) is an Argentine racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Continental team Li-Ning Star. He rode at the 2014 UCI Road World Championships.

Early life
Sepúlveda was born in Rawson, the capital of Chubut Province, in Argentine Patagonia. He started to ride a bike under the advice of his father, Eduardo. In 2007, aged 16 years old, Sepúlveda won the Copa Nacional Infanto Juvenil for young riders in Argentina. However, his father was killed in a car accident while returning home after the event. Sepúlveda recovered from this and later was selected as one of the best young riders of the country and invited to the CeNARD in Buenos Aires, some 1,400 kilometres (870 miles) away from his home in Rawson.

After a series of good results, in 2012, Sepúlveda was invited for the Union Cycliste Internationale to the World Cycling Centre in Aigle, Switzerland, among many other riders from developing countries, including Natnael Berhane, Youcef Reguigui and Josip Rumac. Also in 2012, he won the silver medal in the individual time trial at the Pan American Road Championships in Mar del Plata, losing out to Magno Nazaret from Brazil.
