The last mountain stage of the Tour de France was not so good for Nairo Quintana. He finished in the 13th position.
He has been giving his best thorough the tour, but the rider has yet to win a stage .“I have given everything. When it is given, everything is given. We gave everything, and it is what it is. They were not the best feelings, really. I was a little short of breath. I don't want to say that it's an excuse for what happened," Quintana told ESPN.
He continues, “We worked until the end, we have done a great Tour de France. Payment for so many wear days are sometimes given on days like today. It was a very fast race. The teammates did everything too”, said Quintana.
He also lost his fourth position in GC to David Gaudu. He now aims to finish the tour by at least remaining in the top 10 in overall. “We are still in a good position, and we hope to set a correct time trial. We were there, among the top ten on the Tour”, concluded Quintana.

- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction.

- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
