“One more World Cup since 2009 that I have been with the National Team and it is always a pride to see all these young people”Nairo said.

And he added: “The generational step that each year one finds when one makes a World Cup and it is of joy. Give some advice to the youngsters so that they take advantage of the opportunities in this type of races where all the teams are seeing great riders”.

The last time Quintana took part in this contest was in 2019 and on that occasion he withdrew, but this time the bet is different.

“We have a good option. With Higuita we are going to have a good race, always supporting him very well until the end. Let’s see how far we get. It will be a very tough and selective race, but physically we are fine”, said the cyclist from Boyacá.

During the tour, the cyclists will have to overcome a hard journey in the Mount Keira, a demanding step in which you can make a difference.

The country’s World Cup history on the elite route is not the best, but on this occasion with Nairo and Higuita a good result can be achieved.
