The Colombian, whose professional career spans almost two decades, revealed the news in a press conference prior to the Volta a Catalunya.The 36-year-old said, I learned that this wasnt just a sport. It was a way of life, lived step by step, without rushing the process. Then, in 2012, a new chapter began. From that point on race after race, victory after victory, my triumphs were not mine alone.

His first individual Grand Tour stage win came in 2013 at the Tour de France, a race in which he would finish second behind Chris Froome and secure both the young rider and mountains classifications. A Trofeo Senza Fine awaited him in 2014 ahead of fellow Colombian Rigoberto Urn before a Vuelta victory in 2016, again sharing the podium with another countryman in Esteban Chaves. He has also triumphed in stage races like the Tour of Catalunya and Tour de Romandie.After an eight-year stint at Movistar, Quintana stepped down to ProTeam level with Arka-Samsic. Despite initially finishing sixth overall at the 2022 Tour de France, he was later disqualified after a positive Tramadol test. He did not serve a suspension as it was deemed to be an offence that fell under the UCIs Medical Rules rather than an anti-doping rule violation, but he left Arka-Samsic that season and spent a year without a professional team.He returned to Movistar for the 2024 season and raced in the Giro dItalia that same year. In Italy, he recored a second place finish behind Tadej Pogaar on the Mottolino and bagged two combativity awards. In 2026 so far, his best result is a seventh place on GC at the Tour of Oman.Debora Silvestri breaks multiple ribs in Milan-San Remo DonneParte mdico Debora Silvestri contina mostrando una evolucin clnica favorable, en lnea con la gravedad de las lesiones sufridas.
