Nairo Quintana exploded after finishing the Italy spin, competition in which he participated for the third time and in which he was the protagonist, to the point of being close to victory in the queen stage, which he won Tadej Pogacar.
The cyclist from Boyacá finished in box 19, despite not having arrived in his best shape and after the positive for Covid-19 after the Colombia Tour and an injury to his right shoulder, which put him in doubt about going to the Giro. Quintana was a great ally of his compatriot Einer Rubio, whom he helped to finish in seventh place in a general classification that the Slovenian Pogacar dominated as he wanted.
