Nairo Quintana targets gold in both the road and time trial at the Colombian national championships

Nairo Quintana is going to participate again in the Colombia National Championships, a year after he raced precisely this race in 2023 (the only official race in which he could participate in a season in which he did not have a team).

Now, back in the colours of Movistar Team, Quintana is ambitious and claims to have prepared for both the road race (with a climb that adapts to his characteristics) and the time trial. "I'll be training on the time trial route, it's a spectacular course that I like. We have to go up against time trial specialists, but I'm excited to race," he commented in an Instagram post.

These statements make it very clear that Nairo has not returned to stroll, he wants from the beginning to return to fight for victory and sees in the Colombian national championships his first opportunity to return to wear the Movistar Team jersey with which he shone so much and with which, remember, he managed to win the Vuelta a España and the Giro d'Italia.
