Giro d'Italia winner Nario Quintana The Colombian Nairo Quintana, winner of the Giro, dreams about the 2015 Tour de France and starts the first Movistar team gathering with the French race in mind, believing that it is a good opportunity "with a perfect Tour with good mountains."
"For me the most important is the Tour de France and I will try to create a good schedule that allows me to get to this race in the best condition," Quintana told Efe as he attended the awards ceremony for the 2014 WorldTour where his Movistar team claimed the teams prize. After taking second in the 2013 Tour and winning the 2014 Giro, the Colombian has turned his attention to the biggest goal of his sporting career: to win the Tour.

Quintana believes that the Tour rivals "will be the same" as in the last races, Italian Vincenzo Nibali, Spaniard Alberto Contador and Britain's Chris Froome although he is convinced that new candidates will appear "like Fabio Aru". About to start the camp in Navarra, Quintana is calm despite having risen to fame in his home country where is an idol.
"I've experienced many things but I stay tranquil. I have not lost my way. I know what I do and what I want to achieve."
