Nairo Quintana tests positive for Covid-19 and sees Giro d'Italia plans disrupted: "I finished the Tour Colombia very sick"

Nairo Quintana disappointed in the recent Tour Colombia with a more than discreet performance far behind the men who fought for the general classification. Now it is revealed that the Movistar Team rider has tested positive for Covid-19 and will have to miss his next race in Europe.
The Spanish team has announced that Nairo will not race O Gran Camiño, the race that was going to be his return to European roads after spending 2023 in blank. Nairo himself commented in a video that he tested positive in COVID 19:
"I have not been able to go out to train, finished the Tour Colombia very sick, I felt quite bad, I had caught a flu, when I got home I have tested positive for COVID, I have tested positive, now at home quiet, the return to Europe is delayed until the coronavirus goes away, I can not do Camiño."
The virus has not only prevented the Colombian from performing at the level he hoped for in his home race, but also disrupts his preparation for the Giro d'Italia. After Gran Camiño, Quintana was hopeful of racing the Volta a Catalunya and Itzulia Basque Country. His European season should start at the first however, and perhaps lacking the top form he aims for.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
