Things haven't been going the way Nairo Quintana and Movistar would have hoped so far this 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Giro d'Italia. The race started out with nearly a minute loss in the opening team time trial, and things haven't gone much better since then. On Thursday he finished 2:41 down on the time trial and, a❀lthough still sixth overall, is already 3:29 behind leader Rigobert♒o Urán (Omega Pharma-QuickStep).
Quintana still sees his chance to make it up in the Giro's last week, with its heavily mountainous stages. "I like the Zoncolan stage. It is a very demanding climb, after 20 days✃ of racing," he said. "It's not easy there at all. It's a challenge and it will be interesting to see how my body copes after so much effort before it."
The 24-year-old is the t♏eam captain in only his third grand tour, after fin🍸ishing second in last year's Tour de France and winning both the King of the Mountains and the best young rider titles. "I don't see it as pressure. I see it as motivation," he said. "It gives me positive energy."
