Suddenly he is back again. I wonder what went wrong in the 2nd week because this was a lot stronger Quintana compared to the Quintana that we saw on Alpe D'Huez.

Yep, he takes a lot of criticism for being passive. But when he has the legs, he has repeatedly shown he has the guts to attack from far and often delivers.telencefalus said:
It's a shame the post-modern GC specialists don't have the same desire to entertain.

I'm curious about stage 19 now. The legs were definitely good today, there's an effective rest day tomorrow and now he's got a stage win in the bag so the race wans't a complete bust. Might be worth just trying something ridiculous and seeing what shakes out given you're never making it onto the Podium otherwise with the TT still to come

Re:
He looks a bit over his normal weight and the heat does not help in those conditions. Today was cooler. It helped. With the kilometers he is feeling better. So a bit of miss-timing his peak as well. He needs to adjust his program TBH.RattaKuningas said:

Re:
He's not really passive when chasing stage wins like today. Unfortunately, when it comes to GC riding, he's pretty passive.yaco said:

I never thought he could do what he did today attacking at the bottom of the last climb and winning, after his less than stellar performance on week two.
Chapeau Nairo!

Re: Re:
Wanted to point it out as well. He is up there in the GC and could still make moves in stage 19.Escarabajo said:

Re: Re:
So was going to chase him from the group? Dumo and Thomas. I'd say Thomas was the only one with strength to gain time. And that was because Sky was super impressive. He took it in their face from the bottom of the climb. We have whined and complained here for weeks how difficult is to get away from the Sky train and now that somebody does we say, They let them (???)
