Veteran Colombian star Nairo Quintana is due to spend a lengthy period off racing as he recovers from a ruptured arm ligament injury caused by a crash in the Volta a Catalunya last month, Movistar said on Thursday.
Quintana crashed twice in the Volta a Catalunya, but the second one on stage 7, falling at speed on the approach road to the final Montjuic circuit in Barcelona, forced him to abandon on the last day.
