The future of Nairo Quintana continues to be unknown. The Colombian cyclist canceled his contract renewal with Arkéa Samsic after testing positive for Tramadol in the last Tour de France and has yet to announce his new team.
He has sounded for half of the WorldTour and he himself has stated that next year he is going to race in the highest category of professional cycling. At 32 years old, the man from Cómbita is looking for a new opportunity after showing in 2022 that he still has the legs to fight with the best in the peloton in the high mountains.
Thus, it is the name that is creating the most noise in the cycling market and many of the teams for which it has sounded have denied interest in it, especially from France (Cofidis, AG2R Citroën), Astana and Bahrain have also denied an agreement. He has not denied a possible return to the Movistar Team and the last to make loud noises have been EF Education-EasyPost and Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux. Representatives of many teams have commented, without any positive feedback in public.
Quintana says it is up to the team to announce the transfer, but interestingly that is yet to happen. Jay Vine and UAE Team Emirates have also set a precedent of denying the existence of a transfers days before the announcement, so many chances are open! So, since he sounds like for half a squad but still hasn't signed, today we ask you which team do you think Nairo Quintana will ride for next season?
