**Jhoan Esteban Chaves Rubio** (born 17 January 1990) is a Colombian former professional road bicycle racer, who last rode for [UCI WorldTeam](/source/UCI_WorldTeam) [EF Education–EasyPost](/source/EF_Education%E2%80%93EasyPost).[8] Born in [Bogotá](/source/Bogot%C3%A1), Chaves has competed as a professional since the start of the 2012 season, having signed for the Colombia–Coldeportes team as a [neo-pro](/source/Glossary_of_bicycling#neo-pro),[9] after three seasons as an amateur with the [Colombia es Pasión–Coldeportes](/source/Team_Manzana_Postob%C3%B3n) team. Chaves is a two-time grand tour podium finisher, and a monument winner.

## Career

### Early career

Chaves riding for the [Colombia–Coldeportes](/source/Colombia_(cycling_team)) team in 2012

As an amateur, Chaves was the winner of the French [Tour de l'Avenir](/source/Tour_de_l'Avenir) race in 2011, a race previously won by five future winners of the [Tour de France](/source/Tour_de_France). Chaves had been part of the breakaway on the first road stage of the race, taking the mountains jersey after the stage.[10] He surrendered that lead to Garikoitz Bravo the next day, but reclaimed the lead on the third stage, having led the field over the [Grand Ballon](/source/Grand_Ballon).[11] Bravo took the lead again after the fourth stage until the end of the race, but Chaves moved into contention for the overall honours with several top-ten stage finishes,[12] and trailed race leader [David Boily](/source/David_Boily) by seven seconds before the final stage, in [Alba](/source/Alba%2C_Piedmont), [Italy](/source/Italy). Chaves was part of a four-rider breakaway that moved clear of the field after the penultimate climb, and although he was beaten to the line by [Warren Barguil](/source/Warren_Barguil) and [Mattia Cattaneo](/source/Mattia_Cattaneo), Chaves's third place, coupled with a 24-second time gap to the field, allowed him to win the race by 17 seconds.[13]

### Colombia–Coldeportes (2012–13)

Chaves turned professional with the newly formed Colombia–Coldeportes team for the 2012 season,[14] as his former team Colombia es Pasión–Café de Colombia returned to the domestic ranks in Colombia. He competed in several of the early-season Italian races, including [Tirreno–Adriatico](/source/2012_Tirreno%E2%80%93Adriatico), but withdrew from the race on the penultimate day. After finishing 18th in his home race, the [Vuelta a Colombia](/source/Vuelta_a_Colombia), Chaves returned to Europe for the [Prueba Villafranca de Ordizia](/source/Prueba_Villafranca_de_Ordizia) single-day race in the Basque Country. Chaves made an attack with 10 km (6.2 mi) remaining but [Euskaltel–Euskadi](/source/Euskaltel%E2%80%93Euskadi_(1994%E2%80%932013))'s [Gorka Izagirre](/source/Gorka_Izagirre) shadowed his move, with Izagirre eventually beating Chaves in the sprint finish.[15] Chaves continued his form into the [Vuelta a Burgos](/source/Vuelta_a_Burgos), where he won the final stage of the race. [Team Sky](/source/Ineos_Grenadiers) team-mates [Rigoberto Urán](/source/Rigoberto_Ur%C3%A1n) and [Sergio Henao](/source/Sergio_Henao) animated the field on the final climb to [Lagunas de Neila](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_natural_de_las_Lagunas_Glaciares_de_Neila), and only Chaves was able to follow the pair; Chaves ultimately beat his former team-mate to take his first professional victory on the line, and allowed him to finish the race in third place overall.[16] The following weekend, Chaves took victory in the [Gran Premio Città di Camaiore](/source/Gran_Premio_Citt%C3%A0_di_Camaiore) in Italy, from a five-rider group, after forming the group with Italian national champion [Franco Pellizotti](/source/Franco_Pellizotti) of the [Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela](/source/GW_Erco_Shimano) team, on the Monte Pitoro climb.[17]

Chaves suffered severe injuries in a crash at the [Trofeo Laigueglia](/source/Trofeo_Laigueglia) in February 2013. The team doctor revealed that he had a [compound fracture](/source/Bone_fracture) to his right [clavicle](/source/Clavicle), fractures in his left [petrous bone](/source/Petrous_part_of_the_temporal_bone), right [cheekbone](/source/Zygomatic_bone), [maxillary sinuses](/source/Maxillary_sinus) and [sphenoid bone](/source/Sphenoid_bone), and also received pulmonary compressions, abrasions and suspected rib fractures.[18]

### Orica–GreenEDGE (2014–2021)

Chaves moved to the [Orica–GreenEDGE](/source/Team_Jayco%E2%80%93AlUla_(men's_team)) team for the 2014 season, on an initial two-year contract.[19]

#### 2015

At the [Vuelta a España](/source/2015_Vuelta_a_Espa%C3%B1a), Chaves won stage 2 by outsprinting [Tom Dumoulin](/source/Tom_Dumoulin) ([Team Giant–Alpecin](/source/Team_Picnic%E2%80%93PostNL_(men's_team))) and [Nicolas Roche](/source/Nicolas_Roche) ([Team Sky](/source/Ineos_Grenadiers)) at the summit of the final third category climb of [Caminito del Rey](/source/Caminito_del_Rey). By doing so he took the overall race lead.[20] Chaves lost the race lead on stage 5, as he was caught out in a split in the peloton at the finish and dropped 6 seconds to Dumoulin.[21] However, on stage 6 Chaves attacked 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) from the summit of the final climb to [Sierra de Cazorla](/source/Sierra_de_Cazorla) and held off [Dan Martin](/source/Dan_Martin_(cyclist)) ([Cannondale–Garmin](/source/EF_Education%E2%80%93EasyPost)) and Dumoulin by five seconds for his second stage win and retake the race lead.[22] During the Vuelta Chaves extended his contract for a further three years.[23] He eventually finished the Vuelta in fifth place overall.[24]

#### 2016–2017

2016 was a strong season for him as he finished second in the [Giro d'Italia](/source/2016_Giro_d'Italia) and third in the [Vuelta a España](/source/2016_Vuelta_a_Espa%C3%B1a). On 1 October, Chaves won [Il Lombardia](/source/2016_Il_Lombardia), his – and Colombia's – first victory in one of cycling's "[monuments](/source/Classic_cycle_races#The_'Monuments')".[25]

In June 2017, he was named in the startlist for the [Tour de France](/source/2017_Tour_de_France).[26] He struggled at the event, eventually finishing 62nd in the general classification, almost two-and-a-half hours down on winner [Chris Froome](/source/Chris_Froome).[27] He returned to the [Vuelta a España](/source/2017_Vuelta_a_Espa%C3%B1a) later in the year. He showed good form in the opening stages,[28] but later slipped back to finish eleventh overall.[29]

#### 2018

Chaves started his 2018 campaign at the [Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race](/source/2018_Cadel_Evans_Great_Ocean_Road_Race), before starting the [Herald Sun Tour](/source/Herald_Sun_Tour). He broke away from the peloton at the final ascent of the penultimate stage, taking the victory and the lead in the overall classification.[30] He held on to his lead to win the event overall the next day,[31] his second victory in a stage race. Chaves also rode the [Giro d'Italia](/source/2018_Giro_d'Italia) as his season highlight, winning stage 6.

#### 2019

On 31 May, Chaves won stage 19 of the [Giro d'Italia](/source/2019_Giro_d'Italia) from the breakaway, his first victory in over a year.[32]

### EF Education–EasyPost

After eight seasons with Team BikeExchange and its precursors, Chaves signed for the [EF Education–EasyPost](/source/EF_Education%E2%80%93EasyPost) team for the 2022 season.[33]
