The message sent by Quintana is clear: he is ready and in top form. Now it only remains to wait and see what the future holds for this talented Colombian cyclist. Will it be possible to see him again with a professional jersey? It will not be easy...
Nairo Quintana's path in search of a professional team has been very complicated since he turned to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to appeal his positive test for tramadol during the last Tour de France. Although his name has been raised on several occasions as a possible addition to different teams, both the International Cycling Union (
UCI ) and the Movement for Credible Cycling ( MPCC ) seem unwilling to facilitate his return.
Quintana's followers and admirers hope that he can resolve their situation in a fair and transparent manner. However, the reality is that his return to professional cycling is in jeopardy, and finding a team willing to take a chance on signing him presents a significant challenge at this time.
We will see what happens, what is clear from the published training is that Nairomán is still eager to find a WorldTour team and return to the peloton.
