Nairo Quintana was officially presented yesterday as the new Movistar Team rider in Colombia. After a more than complicated year in which he did not find a team due to his positive for tramadol in the Tour de France 2022, Quintana will return to the WorldTour in 2024 with the team in which he won the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España and won 3 podiums in the Tour de France.
Quintana has made it very clear from the start that his role in the Spanish team will not be the same as it was in his glory years and that he is clear that at this time he cannot set himself too high a challenge.

"It's always good to dream and it's free. Having been second twice in the Tour de France, it put us to dream and it has been tried. We fought to do it. Today we have to raise our hand and hand over the baton. This generation is strong and it's been years. I'm not going to lie or put myself with more commitments that I can't," confessed Nairo in his presentation;
"That yellow jersey was dreamed of and we didn't do badly because I was on the podium. If we look back, before 2013, none of us thought we could get there. Then we did it with Egan Bernal and it came true. On my part, I hand over the baton and it will be a responsibility for all Colombians," he concluded;

- 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.
