Nairo Quintana has confirmed his participation in next month’s Giro d’Italia, marking his first appearance in a Grand Tour since his disqualification from the 2022 Tour de France due to a positive Tramadol test. Despite the controversy surrounding his return to the WorldTour, Quintana remains optimistic, aiming for stage wins rather than a high overall finish. The Colombian will be supported by Movistar teammates Einer Rubio and Fernando Gaviria, as he seeks to overcome a challenging start to the season marked by COVID-19 and a crash.
