The reason why Colombia has left Nairo Quintana out of the Glasgow World Championship
CyclingFriday, 21 July 2023 at 14:30
One of the few hopes that Nairo Quintana had of competing this 2023 was representing Colombia in the Glasgow World Championship. Precisely the last time the former Vuelta and Giro winner competed in a UCI event was at the World Championship in Australia at the end of last year. However, this time he has not been selected;
In statements to Ciclismocolombiano, the president of the Colombian Cycling Federation, Mauricio Vargas, explained why they have not taken him despite the fact that the rider commented on ESPN that he wanted to go:

"The Federation, especially the national cycling coach, chose a selection based on the parameters set by the Federation, through a resolution that comes from previous years, where based on the results and competitions where the cyclists are present, the respective selection is chosen."
Thus, Vargas continues, the Colombian national coach did not even consider Nairo for a list that does include Miguel Ángel López, who, unlike him after being expelled from Astaná and not finding a place in Europe, is competing with Team Medellín:
"Nairo was not considered by the national coach, because he was not competing and the truth is that Nairo is a great cyclist and professional, a person we all respect within Colombian cycling, but at the moment the coach did not take his name into account."

leedorney16-11-2024 - Most cycling sites in English are behind a pay wall. And I assume they do not show you ads then. I also would live to see all news for free and no ads. Not sure then how they will pay all writers. Or maybe they also work for free. Just because they love cycling. That would be perfect 😀 And hope the server provider also is a huge cycling fan, so they can get that for free too. 😉
