Nairo Quintana signed with Movistar and hoped to return to the
Giro d'Italia, where he's won in the past, to fight for the overall classification and possibly the pink jersey. However, this will not happen, following very complicated months riddled with mishaps.
“The plan is to hunt for stage victories in the mountains,” Quintana said in the presentation of his Gran Fondo. “I am ready to give everything of myself. I will participate as a rider among the other riders. I will suffer with the animals, but it is important to be there. We are committed to it 100%."
