Juan Ayuso discussion thread

[Red Rick]

Skipping GT next year. he said in interview w Marca

Yes, avoiding Geraint Thomas is probably wise for a long and healthy career

Scheduled to ride GC in Volta Valenciana and Vuelta a Andalucia.

Probably followed as helper in his home race Volta a Catalunya. But that's just my guess.

Ruling nothing out for neos these days. Pogacar wasn't meant to do a GT in his first year either. Ended up on the podium.

Ayuso will be in 2022 one year younger than Pogacar was in 2019

Don't forget he was only helping Aru in his first two Grand Tours.

He rode with Tadej Pogacar yesterday and posted a second best time on a tough climb, just 15 seconds slower

Juan Ayuso 'dares', at only 19 years old, to compare himself with Alejandro Valverde. The young Spanish phenomenon is seen with quality in the mountains and with the "punch" in the arrivals that the Murcian has. "Everything is yet to come and I am on the right track"

Perfect. Just in time. Old Bala is on the way out, and the new one is coming..

 

[Lequack]

So Mas is the new Contador and Ayuso the new Valverde?

He mainly drops people by riding tempo after getting a small gap with a short accerleration, I really don't see the Valverde thing.

He is Spanish and once upon a time Valverde also was 19.

So was Álvaro González de Galdeano.

Speculation. People who could attest to that have all died of old age.

Hey man, i didn't write the article.

He has the kick, he has the finishing speed, and he's strong in the mountains.

 

[Bonimenier]

It's just a smart thing to do. Valverde has loads of fans, but he's retiring at the end of the season. He's trying to poach those fans to become his fans now.

Recently he also mentioned he wanted to reach Pogacar's level one day. The kid doesn't lack ambition.

I think you'll find few riders who don't want to reach that level one day. At that age it's normal to believe the sky is the limit.
