Landa bruised by Quintana welcome
The season hasn’t started yet but already the battle for supremacy within the mighty Movistar team is hotting up. Incoming GC leader Mikel Landa told Spanish press he’d have preferred a ‘different’ welcome from Nairo Quintana to Movistar after the Colombian said last week that he was the definitive leader of the Tour de France squad.
Landa, who is joining Movistar from Sky told Mundo Deportivo: “Obviously, I would have liked to get a different welcome, but I’m going to his house, and from what I can see, it looks like he doesn’t like it,” Landa said.
“I think that [team manager] Eusebio Unzué will manage our egos well and get the most out of each one.”
