Quintana now eyes Tour win

Nairo Quintana plans to target the 2015 Tour de France after celebrating victory in the Giro d’Italia yesterday.

The 24-year-old Colombian, second to Chris Froome in last year’s Tour, completed the final stage of the Giro into Trieste without incident as Giant-Shimano’s Luka Mezgec sprinted to victory up ahead while fourth place was enough for FDJ’s Nacer Bouhanni to retain the points leaders’ red jersey.

While Quintana has no plans to ride this year’s Tour having put all his focus on the Giro, he plans to return to France next summer.
