Although Nairo Quintana maintains hope, there is no answer on the other side
The thing is simple, at least from the outside, but I don’t know if Nairo Quintana is aware of heror if you want to realize.
In any case, the days, weeks and months pass and the photography is fixed, it does not change, Nairo Quintana is still without equipment for next year.
We spent some time with him last week, we know things about his environment, that he is well-off, as it could not be otherwise after 10 years in the elite and winning the most important things, we see him healthy, fine, with his family well , businesses that run around him, projects like coffee, and even being an idol in his country.
Seeing how I have seen Colombians all over the world following their star, I can think that Nairo is top 3 in popularity among his people.
Well, with all this around you, Nairo Quintana wants to continue competing and he does not hesitate to sell himself as ready to put on a bib, tomorrow, if needed.
And not only that, he thinks about his figure, his influence, what he represents to so many people to put themselves in the spotlight and say that they have to sign him.
He told me all this the other day in Andorra, and don’t even think that he pays attention to words that seek to make him react.
When I told him that on the other side, on the contracting side, between the teams, there is no response, he returns to his lane and talks about preparation, discipline and enthusiasm to return.
There is no two ways about it, and as I said at the beginning, It’s hard for me to believe that what we see so clearly from the outside he doesn’t detect.
There is a hidden sanction, like so many things in cycling, on his person for a positive that in theory was neither doping nor serious.
It’s been a long year since he had to give up racing the Vuelta, then came his departure from Arkea – what a drop in results this year for the team – and with all this, the end of Nairo Quintana?
I read something, when we said we were going to interview him, about whether this poorly ringed notebook had been one of his main haters.
If you had Nairo Quintana in front of you
what would you ask him? #PodcastJS— JoanSeguidor (@JoanSeguidor) October 10, 2023
Far from it, when Nairo has done well, he has admitted, just as I have written those that I did not like how he acted, but one thing is clear to me, and just as I told him in person, I would like to see him compete againmore than anything because its covert and unofficial sanction seems a shame to me.
