Quintana: “I’m waiting for longer climbs to open more differences”

Nairo Quintana (Movistar): “The whole day has been very fast due to the breakaway. At the front there were dangerous people for the general classification. The leader’s team pulled as they could and then we came to help them with some other teams so the attackers wouldn’t go too far. Today was a short explosive finale. There are people better than me for this kind of finales. I’m waiting for longer climbs to open more differences, but every second I win is welcome. I hope to keep going like this, with luck and strength. I have good sensations, good legs, and today was a good start. Let’s hope tomorrow and the day after are like this or better.”
