AG2R Citroën Team dismiss rumours of Nairo Quintana interest
CyclingTuesday, 04 October 2022 at 18:39
The future of Nairo Quintana is uncertain, and recently a report has indicated a French team - either Groupama-FDJ or AG2R Citroën Team - was interest in the Colombian's services, with him having several years of experience with Arkéa Samsic.
In a message shared by the French team, they've said: "Contrary to an information released in different medias AG2R CITROËN TEAM has never had any contact with Nairo Quintana or his agent and is not interested by his recruitment."
Although this limits the possibilities only to Groupama-FDJ, it also somewhat discredits the rumours that allegedly came from someone within Quintana's circle. Although having undeniable climbing and stage-racing prowess, the 32-year old's recent positive tests for tramadol at the Tour de France have cast a dark shadow on his palmarès.
Nevertheless, he has not been suspended from racing. Quintana has had his contract with Arkéa Samsic - until 2025 - ended and is currently looking for a new team into the coming season.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
