Nairo Quintana debuted in the 2023 season at the Colombian National Championships with a great performance. He was looking for gold against great rivals and got bronze after finishing the tough race behind Esteban Chaves and Daniel MartΓnez.
Nairoman went up to the podium to collect his precious medal and was extremely moved. He still does not have a team (he is going to travel to Europe these days) and his feat of finishing on the podium and receiving the love of his compatriots made him cry.

- If she was Dutch or Belgian she'd have already sorted a team out. Unfortunately, the CX teams are pretty insular to 'foreigners' and would rather give a spot to a local rider. And that is one reason why the sport is niche outside its heartland.wipperman9519-12-2025
- Dear Editor: It is no humiliation to make the final, even with two riders, and not get it perfect against another talented rider. Disappointment, sure.itsent18-12-2025
- I luv this guy ,so honest puts the hand up ..."my fault.".. I would be stoked to see him win his big monuments ... i think he would be a great team mate and friend.Davide18-12-2025
- In his years in the peloton, Evenepoel has had several major crashes that could have ended another person's career. In that, he is sadly similar to Roglic, whose crashes have had a huge impact on his still impressive palmares. I'd say the first thing that needs to happen is that everyone make it to the Tour safely. At that point? I don't think they stand a chance against the UAE engine, and the man who is only now (seriously?!) coming into what used to be the age of maturity, refinement, and full bodily development.RidesHills18-12-2025
- It must be hard for him to let go...somewhere in his mind he sees himself competitive. The reality of his entire time at IPT tells a different story altogether.Crashjames18-12-2025
- Not only that, but aside from JV, no one has remotely come close to Tadej level, and I seriously doubt Remco or Lipowitz will be there next year in the finales. That said, a lot can happen on the road in the next year, and I hope it's an epic battle among all of the top 10 finishers. It's a little anticlimactic to watch Tadej ride everyone off his wheel, even if it is super impressive to watch.Crashjames18-12-2025
- He couldn't finish in the top 100 at Unbound Gravel. He might be able to hold the wheel in a cat 3 crit but even that's debatable. Not being facetious.paule18-12-2025
- It isn't just the 5 million euros a year. It's also the never-ending hospital bills. Two weeks to go for Sylvan Adams to get out from under this mess.paule18-12-2025
- LOL, Del Toro, while very strong, is not currently racing at a level higher than Remco or Lipowitz. He can be by 2027 though and probably will be. You are discounting Remco's season this year, which his underperformance was caused by a crash that would have retired most people. He will be very strong this coming year as long as he keeps the rubber side down.awp18-12-2025
- It would be nice to see him have a healthy season and do well.JoeyB18-12-2025
