Rumour surges of Nairo Quintana re-entering World Tour in 2024, replacing Mikel Landa at Bahrain
CyclingTuesday, 25 April 2023 at 02:30
Nairo Quintana is still without a team. He has been in Andorra for weeks training with different cycling partners and has surged as a rumour to be joining Bahrain - Victorious, albeit in 2024.
Thus, the only thing there is regarding the future of the Boyacá rider are speculations coming from Colombia. The latest would end with the Colombian climber back at Bahrain Victorious, as it is said that Mikel Landa could be on his way out. The team currently hosts a large array of climbers also including Pello Bilbao, Jack Haig, Gino Ma¨der, Damiano Caruso and Santiago Buitrago who is fresh off a podium at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
The reason is that his former Movistar Team teammate Mikel Landa finishes his contract at the end of 2023 and there are several teams interested in acquiring his services (INEOS Grenadiers, Trek-Segafredo and Astana), which would leave a gap in the squad for 2024, in which, according to the colleagues of Antena 2, Nairo Quintana could enter.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026

- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026

- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
