Favoritos al Maillot Camuflaje 2023: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nairo Quintana ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chris Froome ⭐⭐⭐ Giani Moscon
Cycling market: UAE Team Emirates has been one of the teams that has sounded that Nairo Quintana could end up riding in the WorldTour this season, but one of its leaders, Joxean Fernández Matxín, has ruled it out.
Within the ranks of the United Arab Emirates team there are two Colombian riders, Juan Sebastián Molano and Álvaro Hodeg. They could have been joined by Nairo Quintana, but the team decided not to include him in their plans.
Matxín, sports director of UAE Tean Emirates, made this known by highlighting the quality and trajectory of Nairo in world cycling: "The quality he possesses is indisputable," he said in an interview with the Ciclismo Colombiano portal.
However, he assured that Nairo was never considered to compete in races like the next Tour de France: "At no time have we raised that option with him. We have had no conversations about it, since we even have ten riders for eight places. It would not be fair to have an external rider and leave out several who have been training with us," said 'Matxín.
In this way, another World Tour team closes the doors to Nairo Quintana, who still does not compete after his controversial departure from Arkea Samsic. However, it is not ruled out the possibility that the talented cyclist born in Cómbita could soon return to the major cycling competitions.
On the other hand, UAE Emirates is one of the big favorites for the 2023 Tour de France, with its main card, Tadej Pogacar, aiming to wear the yellow jersey again after winning in 2020 and 2021.

- 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

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.
