I don't know. It was just a miserable attempt at making a joke.

ANALYSIS | Lingering tension? Did Adam Yates avoid working for Juan Ayuso at Tirreno-Adriatico and what does it mean for UAE at the Giro d'Italia?
Adam Yates was one of the most vocal critics of Juan Ayuso during the 2024 Tour de France. The British rider, rather than keeping his frustrations behind closed doors, aired them publicly, criticizing...

If they send Ayuso to the Tour, he will also need a strong helper, like Pogacar.

Strong ride by Ayuso. But the question on everyone’s lips is will he ride in support of Pogacar at the Tour? I can’t answer that question.

He's not scheduled to do the Tour, it seems. Maybe Vuelta later in the season.

Well, they said that the Giro is his main goal this year so maybe it will stay this way (plus WC of course). As for Vuelta we will see if Pogi will be willing to actually race it following the Tour (and with WC in his mind). I doubt it TBH.

I'm not convinced he's stronger now than during last year's spring. The main difference being that he raced against an alien in 2024 Tirreno GC while this year against...Ganna.

Ayuso is back to being the most overrated rider in the peloton
Looking at his performance today he should be grateful that they cancelled the stage yesterday or he would have finished outside the podium.

It makes no sense to project the Montjuic circuit to a big mountain stage.
Last year Pogacar struggled on this circuit even the day after killing everyone in the mountains.

Let me tell you how and why I can easily make that assumption.
First of all Ayuso beat the 85 kg Ganna on a unipuerto stage 2 weeks ago and everyone lost their mind.
Second he did two uphill sprints against Rogla on two MTFs which were not decisive and with minimal gaps.
In the past he struggled on hard stages with multiple climbs and a lot of KJ's in the legs. That's why I was waiting for Saturday's stage to see if he actually fixed that issue.
Today he can't follow Mas and Landa on an explosive wall climb. I am convinced both of them would have smoked him yesterday.

Plz stop the Kj in the legs talk, just say fatigue like a normal person.
That said, he has won a 211km Tour de Suisse stage before, so I don't know if fatigue is the problem. Might also just be cold/rainy weather.

How many of us think he peaked too soon and will be a non factor in the Giro?
