    Look on the bright side.
    He won't be able to take his 3 month, mid season trip home to Columbia, this year.
    Two GTs are better than one.

    Big loss for the ToB, though. :wink:

    Quintana would have prefered to do the Tour
    “I am going to the Giro at the behest of those who are paying my salary,” Quintana said. “It’s a decision that also takes into consideration the interests of the sponsors and [Alejandro] Valverde. … I wanted to go to the Tour, but we don’t have a leader for the Italian tour.”

    It's not often you see that level of honesty, telling like it is in many things let alone sport. It's very refreshing.

    The Giro will be a lot of fun! Quotes like this surprise me though, they seem to already accept that Froome will win the tour:
    Unzué said Quintana has a better chance to win the Giro than to go up against Froome, and promised to bring a full squad to support him in the Italian tour.

    The tour will probably be quite boring, hopefully Nibali and Contador will be in great shape. And Valverde of course...
