🔥Durísima caída de 🇨🇴 Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) en la Segunda Etapa del Tour de Turquía 2022 🇹🇷 #TUR2022 #TUR22 #Noticiclismo #Ciclismo
Nairo Quintana started the Tour of Turkey as the overwhelming favourite for the overall classification however his ambitions were brought down on stage two as the Colombian crashed twice. Despite continuing in the race, the injuries have prevented him from reaching his goals.
On the second stage Quintana hit the deck inside the final 40 kilometers, crashing into a ditch but recovering his position in the peloton together with his teammates. However, with less than 4 kilometers to the line Arkéa hit the deck with several riders with Quintana in the middle during the run-up to the sprint.
Despite lost time he stayed in the race in search of a stage win on the race's queen stage, however he didn't have the legs to make the difference and finished fourth, watching Eduardo Sepúlveda take the win and race lead 15 seconds before.
"Due to Nairo's physical condition after his crash two days ago [stage two], it's almost a miracle today seeing him finish fourth after a 14-kilometer climb," team DS Ivon Ledanois said after yesterday's stage. "Nairo was very motivated to give it everything, but in sports there are no miracles. Since his crash, Nairo couldn't express himself completely, he has a lot of pain."
It is unclear if Quintana will now take a recovery period, as he is planned to be at the Vuelta Asturias in the coming weeks to defend his 2021 title.

- 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
