Hi, my name is Nairo Quintana. I was born on the 4 February 1990 (24). I was born in Tunja, in the Boyacá Department of Colombia.
In 2010, Quintana won the Tour de l'Avenir proving to be one of the great prospects for the future of Colombian cycling.
In 2012, Quintana moved to Europe to join the Spanish Movistar Team. He won the overall classification in the Vuelta a Murcia. After, he took a prestigious victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné, when he sparked a counter-attack after a select group of riders including leader Bradley Wiggins reached the last escapee of the day. He held on to his solo lead in the descent leading to Morzine. After winning that stage, he later ended up winning the Route du Sud that year. Quintana made his Grand Tour debut at the Vuelta a Espana, where he was one of Alejandro Valverde's key climbing domestiques as the Spaniard finished second overall. Quintana finished 36th overall. In October, Quintana won the Giro dell'Emilia.
I will be posting more soon

Today is the first stage of the season for me. I will be resting in the peloton waiting for the hill and mountain stages. We will try and get a top 5 with our sprinter today.
The first attack of the race came from Castroviejo. He is going out to keep the pressure of our team today.
Marangoni, Paiani and Moreno attacked. However only 2 made it to the breakaway, which is now a group of 3.
With 100km to go the gap is at 6.24. The group of 3 including Castroviejo, Paiani and Marangoni are working well together.
At the sprint point it was a great sprint. It was Castroviejo who came out on top ahead of Paiani and Marangoni.
The 2nd intermediate sprint went to Paiani ahead of Castroviejo and Marangoni.
With 18km to go Castroviejo and Paiani have just attacked and are now the leading 2 riders 1.23 ahead of the peloton.
With 1km to go Ventoso was in the lead and I was in 2nd.
Unfortunately Ventoso couldn't hang on and Wyss takes it just ahead of him.
Well today was a good day. Castroviejo had a great day in the breakaway. Ventoso had a great day coming 2nd and I was so happy with my result today coming in 5th place and in 8th overall.
Seeya tomorrow for another flat day
Nairo

I recommend that you press # or ~ to remove the circles under the riders, other than that it was a nice try for Ventosso |
