Quintana comes back to Tour de France ready to lead (The Associated Press)

Nairo Quintana comes back to the Tour de France unwilling to settle for second place. The Colombian climbing specialist made himself a contender at his first and only Tour in 2013 by finishing runner-up to Chris Froome. The following year, his Movistar team made the surprising decision to sit their new star out of the 2014 Tour in a long-term plan to build up Quintana’s mental toughness to tackle cycling’s grandest tour.
