LOURDES (France): Last year’s Giro d’Italia winner Nairo Quintana says he has been preparing for next month’s Tour de France in tranquility back home in Colombia.

Quintana, 25, will start the Grand Boucle as one of the favourites, alongside champion Vincenzo Nibali, 2013 winner Chris Froome and two-time former champion Alberto Contador, who last month succeeded the Colombian as Giro champion.
