Nairo Quintana: "Froome was too strong"

Nairo Quintana: "I finish very happy. Three Tours, three podiums, it's a lot of joy. We finished this Tour on a stage win but also with the team victory, it's the first time. We did the best we could. We were rewarded and very happy with Ion's stage victory. We came with a more ambitious objective, we tried but this is the greets race in the world. I must be happy with this third place. I suffered from allergies but I felt better in the last couple of days. I thanks all the Colombians and the fans who were behind me, they were a great support on this Tour. But Chris Froome was too strong. It's the third time I lose against him but I'm still happy with our team showing on this Tour and the whole of the season. We showed we were one of the best teams in the world. Now it's time for Paris and celebrations."
