The Return to Catalonia is still alive, and not only because of the massive exhibition put on by Tadej Pogacar. Nairo Quintana is also the star, in this case for something more unpleasant.
The Colombian cyclist has made some enemies on the Catalan roads. One of them is the Dutch runner Wout Poels. Bahrain member-Victorius, on the ‘In Koers’ podcast, He explained an incident between him and Quintana.
“We were in a port and I wanted to improve my position. Nobody passed me and I decided to follow Enric Mas.” This placement in the climb placed him next to Nairo Quintana. As Poels explained, “he elbowed me,” and upon receiving it “I asked him why he did it and he was very aggressive.”. “Then I jokingly asked him if he was still using tramadol.”
Well, Poels has joined him lately Geraint Thomas. In his podcast ‘The Geraint Thomas Cycling Club’, the rider of Ineos Grenadiers violently attacked him, saying that “Nairo Quintana should not run. Damn rat”, a phrase that made his teammate Luke Rowe laugh.
