Incredible Nairo Quintana Attack

27 km from the finish? Not a problem for Nairo Quintana! Re-live the attack from the Colombian at the 2018 Tour de Suisse. Whoa, here we go! Here comes right from the get-go. This is very, very early on this climb indeed, and it's Quintana who's decided to stretch his legs. See what he can do about distancing Richie Porte. He's done that at the moment. Equal to the challenge and spotting the danger was Phil Sang, but Richie Porte is going to have to make an effort to come back up onto the tail of Nairo Quintana. Quintana's decided to fire; he's got to find 45 seconds, he has to attack today. Yeah, I'm surprised he's attacked here. He lost a wheel to Richie Porte yesterday, but this is great stuff. This is what we wanted. Movistar was looking at it a couple of days ago with Landa, but definitely, he's setting a big tempo at the bottom of this climb. I think Richie Porte is maybe trying to pace himself ever so slightly, but the question is where is Kelderman, where is Sam Oomen? Nairo Quintana is into the finish cameras, and he needs to ride this one all the way through. 200 meters remaining. He's been out front for the final 27 kilometers of this race, clear of the GC group, now clear of everyone else as well, and through to win the seventh stage of Tour de Suisse. Nairo Quintana will stop the watch just over four hours of racing.
