Bad news for
Nairo Quintana,
Movistar Team and Colombian cycling as it has been announced that the veteran rider of the Spanish team will not participate in the next
Tour of the Alps due to a rupture of the anterior sternoclavicular ligament in his right arm.
Quintana started the season at the Tour Colombia. Then, he caught coronavirus, which meant that his first race in Europe could not be what he had hoped for. Later, he raced the Volta a Catalunya. There he crashed twice, the last one in the final stage that caused his abandonment, and now he is recovering from this injury. So, Nairo has very few kilometers in his legs, and it remains to be seen if he will be Movistar's leader in the
Giro d'Italia, as planned.
