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.

- IMHO, Jonas climbing is a little better than Tadej but I agree with him: unless you are a frustrated hater, it is impossible not to be fascinated by Tadej's versatility. I have never watched Merckx (or Hinault) then I am grateful to live in this period and can watch the awesome Tadej.
maria2024202427-12-2024 - Don’t exaggerate please, it shows how little you know or respect sports in general, cycling would have been enough. Shall we start a list? Ed Moses Sergei Bubka Usain Bolt Oleksandr Usyk Don Bradman Antoni Bou End LessMistermaumau27-12-2024
- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
