Quintana ready to defend Tour de France podium place

Nairo Quintana has not yet climbed onto the final podium of this year's Tour de France and they're already asking if he can win the next one. Movistar manager Eusebio Unzue could only throw his arms wide and smile when the question was put to him outside the team bus in Le Grand Bornand on Friday, a day that saw the Colombian youngster finish comfortably with the yellow jersey group to retain third place overall with just two stages remaining.
