Nairo Quintana (Movistar) got back into the fight for the title of the Tour of Spain.

The Colombian, who continues to impress with his talent, intelligence and courage and which many considered without options for conquest in the race, climbed to second place in the general classification in the revival of the competition after his second and last day of rest .

The boyacense, who precisely on September 11, 2016, became champion of this test, escaped with 46 other men this Wednesday, in the first stages of stage 17, the longest of this edition with a tour of 219.6 kilometers between Aranda de Duero and Guadalajara, he managed to discount good weather and gain positions, and more to the carelessness of the team of the leader Primoz Roglic (Jumbo), who was not attentive when closing gaps due to winds from the side. The intrepid escapees came to have a lead time of 5.57 minutes.

In this way, Quintana, who was sixth and lost 7.43 with Roglic, is now second, to 2.24. Third is Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), at 2.48, fourth Tadej Pogacar (UAE), at 3.42 and fifth Miguel Ángel López (Astana), at 3.59.

Who crossed the finish line first today was Belgian Philippe Gilbert (Deceuninck) with a record of 4: 20.15. The Irishman Sam Bennett (Bora) was second and the Frenchman Remi Cavagna (Deceuninck), third. Quintana arrived 14th, and Roglic's group entered 5.29.

This Thursday, on day 18, the high mountain returns with the 177.5 km route between Colmenar Viejo and Becerril de la Sierra, in which four first class ports must be overcome.
