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.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
