2014 TDF, Nairo Quintana ?
Have no looked at the roaster for Movistar roster yet.
Is Rojas the team leader? Or too soon?

Quintana is racing the Giro this year, with Valverde the designated leader for the Tour.

There might be more interest in the Giro...
...if it was possible to find decent video, either live or after the fact. Even Cyclingfans.com isn't working well this year.

This year in Oz we have every Giro stage live on free to air as well as on Eurosport - I prefer the Eurosport commentary and so generally watch that. With local riders and teams doing well - Matthews, Evans, and Orica Greenedge, coverage of the Giro here is even making the mainstream media.

Giro on TV
Brian,
Not sure if you have cable or satellite, but beIN sport is broadcasting the last 2 hours or so of every stage live, on direcTV it's channel 620 (or something close to that).
You can also usually find the last 10k of every stage up on Steephill.tv later in the day.

BeIN Sports
I've been getting their feed on DishTV , channel 392. It's included in their sports pack along with Universal Sports. Coverage on the USWC starts ± 0530 and has run at least 3 hours. Commentators are Carlton Kirby and Dan Lloyd [Eurosport commentators?]- very entertaining chatter, and not a single mention of the suitcase of courage. BeIN also aired several of the spring classics, including Strade Bianche, Roma Maxima, Gent Wevelgem, the Ronde, De Brabantse Pijl, and Amstel Gold. It's like hog heaven for classics fans!
YMMV

steephill.tv has live Giro coverage from the Eurosport English language feed. I watched Stage 10 this morning on it. You have to try a couple of the links to get one that isn't overwhelmed by popups and lets you open it in full screen.

Well I have to say, after watching the time trial, the performances by Omega Pharma Quickstep seem rather suspect. Four of their riders in the top ten in the TT, and Uran, not particularly noted as a time-triallist, blitzes everyone else in the field by over a minute and a half.
