Teams & Riders Nairo Quintana discussion thread

[Sciatic]

Every competitive rider is compelled to be an as*hole in the eyes of the opposition once in awhile. That Vuelta beat down was Sky's ultimate team embarrassment. Froome and Co. had no explanation for lazily sitting at the back end of the field when 50 or more guys went berzerk. It was fun to watch.

Indeed, one of my favorite stages ever to watch live.

He could be a good mentor for Pescador in his first pro season.

I'm not too familiar with the 19yr. old Pescador yet, but judging by his stats he appears to be another Colombian mountain goat, so with any luck this will prove beneficial for both of them.

It's hard to tell, did he manage to crack a smile? He's done it only about two or three times throughout his career...

Anyhoo, congrats to Señor Nairo!

Woooooo, Nairoman will ride the Giro and the Vuelta, Rogla better look out! (I'm not delusional thinking Nairo can beat Rogla, but I'm super excited both will ride the Giro. )

Anyone who follows bike racing knows that once you have been on top the only place to go is down. Quintana shows extraordinary grace in fitting in and finding a new place. Guy is good at racing bicycles, appears to be a team player and keeps his ego in check to accomplish something with what he has.. Respect for 34 year old figuring it out, low key style earns him serious props from me, will look forward to seeing what he can contribute
