Nairo Quintana to UAE Team Emirates? "I would love to" Matxin says

With the transfer season in an all-time high level of communications, one transfer that is now within the realm of possibility and comes as a surprise is the possible move of Nairo Quintana to UAE Team Emirates.
Despite the functional and strong collaboration over the last few years it seems likely that the Colombian will not stay with Arkéa Samsic into it's first season as World Tour level, and between the teams rumoured to be hosting the Colombian veteran for the coming year is UAE Team Emirates.
In an interview with Caracol Radio, team manager Joxean Matxin has said that “I would love to have Nairo Quintana in the UAE Team Emirates," a revelation that comes as a surprise for the team of Tadej Pogacar and João Almeida.
"They [Arkéa Samsic] have offered him to us and he is a rider that I really like. I have spoken with him and I have a very special feeling with Nairo," he explained. With the likes of AG2R Citröen Team and possible B&B Hotels-KTM - with their newly-increased budget - having the means, the fight for the Colombian's services can get quite spicy in the coming weeks.

- 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
