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 and was first in the team pursuit. He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España.[5] In October 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Giro d'Italia.[6]
