Nairo Quintana continues to face the harsh repercussions of the veto imposed by the World Tour as a result of tramadol consumption during the 2022 Tour de France. Now, just before the next edition of the Grand Boucle, it has emerged that the outstanding Colombian cyclist has been offered to one of the world's most prominent teams.
Amid a sea of speculation and rumors on Twitter, information has also emerged about the future of Nairo Quintana. According to Daniel Benson, editor-in-chief of Global Cycling Network, the Colombian rider's close circle approached a team with the goal of having him become a domestique for one of the best cyclists on the planet.
The offer was presented to Nairo Quintana to join Soudal Quick Step as Remco Evenepoel's domestique, especially for the Vuelta a España 2023, although it would also include competitions prior to the Iberian race.
Dan Benson shared on his Twitter account, "There was some chatter hinting that Quintana was headed to Soudal Quick Step." He further noted that this team was the last team Nairo showed interest in, hinting at a possible partnership.
However, the journalist concluded his statements by warning that so far there has been no positive response from the Belgian team. In this way, Nairo Quintana's entourage contemplated the possibility of the Colombian cyclist becoming Remco Evenepoel's right-hand man in the next Vuelta a España, considering that the young Belgian will likely be the team leader and will be looking to defend his title, a possible alliance was considered. However, the final outcome is still in suspense.
The next edition of the Tour de France is fast approaching, and Colombian fans are anxiously waiting to know what will be the fate of Nairo Quintana and in which team he will compete in the fight for the highest places on the podium. In the meantime, speculation continues and fans of the Colombian cyclist await with anticipation the news that may emerge in the coming weeks or months, before 2024.

- i mean, duh, the ONLY reason for pidcock to be at Q36.5 is freedom and autonomy. vande velde has kind of an art for the obvious. but as far as the “you should do what van der poel did” advice goes, well, I’LL state the obvious: doing what mathieu did KINDA depends on being ABLE to do what mathieu did. if it didn’t then yeah, that would really be some terrific advice.OCexile16-12-2024
- Jan is super inteligent and classy rider and probably “smoothest pedaler” in pelaton. Quickstep screwed his career with getting his kilos too much down…vanja16-12-2024

- that’s the long and short of it, right? i remember reading a story last year on Velonews about eli, right after mathieu came back then. iserbyt said “every year i’ve truly believed that THIS would be the year my efforts finally allow me to challenge van der poel, but the time comes when you have to admit that fairy tales are just fairy tales…” SOUL CRUSHING, right? all these guys who just happened to be in their prime right when the strongest, most dominant cx racer of all time is in his. way it goes. that’s the nature of individual sports. every once in a while fortune serves up ONE person who is not only vastly more gifted, but also singularly driven to win. watching this champions is thrilling most of the time, but i can also feel for the men and women who have dedicated their lives to their sport only to do battle with someone they really can’t hope to defeat.OCexile15-12-2024
- Right. Scanning ahead, situational awareness, in order to be proactive.JBBriggs15-12-2024
- And if all these other guys would have full time cycling jobs all year round, they’d be less critical about who rides when. Not their fault cycling is split into so many different disciplines to allow some less good riders a chance to win once in a while on their preferred terrain.Mistermaumau15-12-2024
