Nairo Quintana continues to face a tough time in 2024. The days go by, the end of the year approaches, where teams almost finalize their rosters, and there are no positive responses. In fact, another team has ruled out his arrival for the next year.
Bahrain Victorious denies contact
The most recent denial comes from Bahrain Victorious, as revealed by the team’s manager, Slovenian Milan Eržen, to GCN.
Bahrain Victorious’ rider list also seems settled, with Eržen confirming that the team will have 28 riders in 2024. This won’t include Nairo Quintana, who has been frequently linked to the team for nearly a year.
“We are full, and there’s no chance of that,” Eržen said. “Who is spreading this information and connecting us? I have nothing against Nairo, and I still think he’s a good rider who can achieve results, but the environment may not be right for him. In fact, we’ve never talked.”
