Movistar Team under fire from Colombia for deciding to have Nairo Quintana as Enric Mas's domestique in 2024
CyclingSunday, 21 January 2024 at 02:30
Movistar Team starts an 2024 exciting season in terms of its roster, which has been greatly renewed by the large number of signings made. Above all, the return of Nairo Quintana to the Spanish team stands out, although not everything has been light and colourful.
After Movistar announced its leaders for the three Grand Tours of the 2024 season, the Spain-based team has been receiving a lot of criticism from the veteran Colombian rider's most loyal fans. The reason? They believe Quintana should always be the team leader, reports media outlet Antena 2.
Movistar Team's plan is for Enric Mas to be their main leader this year, and as such he will be their main contender for the Tour de France general classification, while Nairo Quintana will ride the Giro d'Italia.
The controversy, besides focusing on the aspect of Mas being the reference in the Grande Boucle, the most important cycling race in the world, resides mainly in the Vuelta a España, where both riders will participate in search of the overall victory, but with Enric Mas as leader of the squad.
Will the words of the South American's supporters cause Movistar to change their plans for 2024? That remains to be seen.

- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint).

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
