Nairo Quintana (Movistar) could have just checked his time splits against Rigoberto Uran (OPQS) and made sure he didn't lose too many seconds and still be in Pink at the end of the day. But then most athletes can't do that, it is in their blood to win if at all possible. So instead of playing it safe, Quintana laid down the best time taking the stage win and adding over a minute to his lead over Uran, all but insuring his holding the Maglia Rosa on the final day. There was great joy at the finish line and a big hug through the Movistar team car window from his Director Sportif. I can imagine him saying, "That was beautiful, this race is all yours!"
