Nairo Quintana often talks about his sueño amarillo (yellow dream), which has its own hashtag on social media, but there’s a chance he cold be dreaming of pink as well in 2017.
The Movistar team held a press conference at a camp in Navarra on Friday, with team boss Eusebio Unzué flanked by the Colombian and the Spanish team’s other star rider, Alejandro Valverde.
Quintana stated that the Tour de France is the “principal objective” of his career, and he is almost certain to be on the start line in July, but further questions revealed that an appearance at the Giro d’Italia is being seriously considered. The route for the 100th edition of the corsa rosa was unveiled on Tuesday, with plenty of mountains to suit Quintana's climbing ability.

“If we don’t give it a go we can’t know how it might play out,” he said, pointing out that there is more time between the Giro and the Tour than the Tour and Vuelta.
Quintana has doubled up on the Tour and Vuelta in the past two seasons, finishing 2nd and 4th respectively last year, and 3rd and 1st this year.
“I’ve done the Tour and then the Vuelta and it hasn’t taken too much of a toll,” he added.
