Nairo’s signing for Movistar was so obvious that I am surprised that it is surprising
When we spoke with Nairo Quintana in Andorra the other day, we asked him about his present, his desire to return and even about his Movistar days, I told him with all sincerity that I would like to see him dressed as a cyclist again.
Because we may like the runner more or less, he will have those traits that have often made him distance himself from the general public and those attitudes that I do not see consistent with his category, but what cycling was doing to Nairo was a monumental injusticean aberration to the system itself and its rules, preventing it from competing for a “soft” positive of tramadol that from the first moment was sold as something trivial, but that as the months passed turned into an unwritten condemnation.
Almost two months ago, our colleague Guillem gave us some photos of Nairo talking with Unzué and Matxin at the start of the Vuelta in Andorra.
They were photographs that were seen in many places, in various media that fueled the comments about seeing the cyclist competing again.
According to account Carlos Arribas at that moment is the origin of Nairo’s return to Movistar.
We, in light of those images, and seeing how the market was, very complicated for the team, due to the reversal of Carlos Rodríguez, we concluded:
Seeing him doing so well with Unzué, I think about Nairo’s return to the team, a team in which he exploded and became one of the best cyclists in the world.
Nairo needs Movistar and these need Nairoespecially when Carlos Rodríguez looks like it isn’t and the market is not infinite.
I believe that the sanction on the Colombian for tramadol is a monumental injustice, based on perceptions but not on a strict application of the norm, and that the issue of the representative, Eusebio’s friend, should be obstacles that can be overcome for the greater good that we returned to the peloton one of the most important riders in recent years.
Nairo is not here to play in a big game, but he is there to add and contribute throughout the year in a team that does not exactly stand out for its scoring power.
Will we see the miracle happen?
Well, the miracle occurred, there was a “goal in the Gaunas”, Nairo will once again be a Movistar cyclist in a pure move, since both need each other, I think, to the same extent.
The Colombian is as much of a winner as the team has not been in recent years, not necessarily for a great overall, but for stages and other races that also make up a team and a winner.
Nairo could have perfectly hung up his bicycle, even at 32 years old, look, they make jokes about his age, but he didn’t want to leave that aftertaste of leaving through the back door, talking to him was constantly going around the same topic and the same arguments.
I would like to know what the runner cache isI can imagine it, but the confidence he exudes could help him recover some of those contracts he signed when he was at the top.
Be careful, pay attention to the generational movement that this matter implies, because you can already see where practically all of the rivals that Nairo has had in his path are.
