Quintana moving to Arkea-Samsic
#1
Cyclingnews writes that Nairo Quintana is setting for 3 year deal with French side "Arkea-Samsic", he'll be joined by his brother and Winner Anacona (how I like that name Big Grin) making a Colombian mountain trio.

What's even left for Movistar? Landa is also gone

Well, not surprising that Nairo is leaving if we consider that he didn't feel hundread percent there. However, the team choice is very interesting - Arkea must have some real gameplan! Bringing in other strong Colombians shows that Nairo will be the key figure. Anacona will be a genuine support!

Just read some rumours that Arkea might merge with Katusha but not sure of reliability.

I guess Movistar has found some GC power or substitution for Quintana in the form of Enric Mas: https://www.instagram.com/p/B05T3JSiLDO/?igshid=1skom0acz1u0w

Only time will tell. Mas was strong during last year's Vuelta weeks and performed well past weekend again in Spain (the San Sebastian classic). Only 24 years old..
