El 'Parche de Nairo', Nairo Quintana's new business with which he intends to revolutionize cycling in Bogota

Nairo Quintana, one of the most prominent names in Colombian cycling, is at a crossroads that has led him to explore new opportunities beyond the roads and elite competitions. After failing to find a place in the World Tour teams for the current season, Quintana has decided to take a different direction and focus his energy on an exciting venture: the world of gastronomy and restaurants.

Having participated in a couple of races but without returning to the competitive peak, the boyacense cyclist is thinking about his future career with determination. While looking for his next destination in professional cycling, Quintana has revealed his plans to venture into the restaurant industry.

In an interview with RCN Televisión's "Buen día, Colombia" program, Nairo Quintana shared details about his exciting new project. The athlete, a native of Tunja, expressed his enthusiasm about "Parche de Nairo", an establishment that aims to be a haven for bicycle lovers.

"We began to venture into the theme of restaurants, just in 10 days we opened the 'Nairo's Patch'. It is a specialized place for cyclists: it has showers, all the mechanics for the bicycle, sale of sportswear, food for all types of bicycle lovers," revealed Quintana.

The first location will be located near Bogotá, strategically located at the exit of the city. This strategic location will allow cyclists to come in, enjoy delicious food and also have access to essential services such as showers and maintenance for their bikes. Quintana envisioned this space as a versatile place for cycling families, where everyone can experience the passion for cycling and healthy food.

Regarding the culinary offer, Nairo Quintana emphasized the variety and quality of the food: "We have tamales, fish broth, ribs. We vary the gastronomy also with all the recognition we have obtained on how to feed an athlete. This 'Nairo's Patch' is totally designed for cyclists of all levels".
