"...Anyone who thinks that the guy [Quintana] who came second in his first tour doesnt have heart or passion, or is just the product of a machine, is wrong."
Couldn't agree more. If I were to summarise the tour in one word it would be just that, Quintana.
Unfortunately heart and passion aren't compatible with modern training methods and pro cycling sports directory systems, hence Movistar, or whatever team Quintana signs with in the future, will work intensely with him to try and change that over the next couple of years, much like you're seeing with the likes of Kwiatkowski, Uran, Talansky, and Majka, let alone Sagan just to mention a few.

For shame, for shame.
