Team Jayco AlUla is looking for another leader for the grand tours and has reportedly set its sights on Nairo Quintana
Cycling
Nairo Quintana continues to look for a team for the 2024 season. After spending 2023 as a free agent, the Colombian cyclist is hoping that non-MPCC squads will give him a chance to race next year and the latest rumour coming out of Colombia links him to the Team Jayco AlUla.
The Australian team has recently been reinforced with the arrival of Caleb Ewan and the renewal of Dylan Groenewegen. If we add to them Michael Matthews, the squad can boast one of the strongest blocks of sprinters on the planet. However, when we think about their potential for the general classification, things change;
Simon Yates is the most reliable man and proved it in the last Tour de France, but he is not ready to do more than one grand tour a year. The other strong man is Eddie Dunbar, who finished seventh in the last Giro d'Italia and had to withdraw due to a crash in the Vuelta. Thus, they would be looking for a third piece to be competitive in the grand tours and would have thought of Nairo Quintana as a possibility.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
