Nairo Quintana says he will return to the Giro d’Italia soon, but not in 2016 as the Olympics mean he will ride the Tour for the victory.
“For sure, the Tour is going to get my full attention. I don’t have the full programme for the year, not at this point,” Quintana told Cycling Weekly.
“I’ll do both Tour and the Olympics,” Quintana said. “I think that in another year I might try to make another attempt to win the Giro d’Italia. Next year, though, it’s not possible.”
This means he will once again face off with Chris Froome and Alberto Contador, who are both doing the Tour-Olympics double thanks to a tough course in Rio.
