Nairo Quintana was one of the so many riders that he fell on the chaotic first stage of the Tour de France, which became dangerous for the peloton due to the rain that fell on the course in Nice.
The Arkea team leader lost his balance on his bike when riding a downhill curve from the first mountain pass of the day, but he quickly rejoined and continued in the majority group, without wasting time or distance from his rivals.

As expected, Quintana confirmed that his fall was not serious thinking about what is coming. “Little fall, a slip. Fortunately, it was not very fast. The team has been ahead, defending us from danger. We are still good and we hope tomorrow is a great day”Declared the Boyacense from France.
Nairo was cut off from the group that defined the stage victory due to the fall that occurred with three kilometers to go, but as it was so close to the end, all the riders in the peloton were given the same time as the winner, the Norwegian Alexander Kristoff.
This Sunday will be the first mountain day of the race, with two first-class ports in the early part of the stage and a finish with a steep 9 kilometers from the finish line where some attacks could be generated. These were the Colombian’s statements about his incident this Saturday:
