They went a bit hard on Ayuso, everything going on at this race in regards to his team, but on the plus side all of them now look a bit like jackasses. So Ayuso doesn't even have to switch teams, for Movistar.
Tour?
Tour?
Wow, that’s not much of season since didn’t even “race” the final week of this Giro.
There was an article yesterday in spain saying the he will probably miss the national championship and will be back in San Sebastian with the Worlds as his target for the rest of year.

Ayuso told to a Spanish media that he probably won't compete in the national championships because he needs to recover from the Giro.
Those championships are at the end of June. If he's in doubt about competing at the end of June, he couldn't go to Slovenia or Switzerland, which they're also talking about.

Disastrous season for Ayuso, it looks like. I know he's young, but this feels like a mistake for the team unless he is truly cancerous behind the scenes.
I haven't seen a more Guangxi-bound man since Sam Bennett in the old Quickstep days!

Almeida did. Even against his own wish. But it also meant he became ill a lot.

I don't even like Ayuso but what wrong did he do during the Giro? (except crashing and getting stung by a bee)

He wants to go for WC. Would be very funny if he actually wins that. He won't of course, but I would be amused.

Narratives are more powerful than reality.
He's perceived as the new villain in cycling. At some point fans will probably forget and / or focus on somebody else.
I think it's wrong to comment about the character of Ayuso from a cycling fan perspective. We don't really now.
But its pretty clear for me that Ayuso isn't really liked within the UAE team riders. I also heard this from the cycling magazine podcast. Wegmann and/or Geschke talked to riders within the UAE team and they were happy that Ayuso was out of the Tour to focus on the win of Pog.
It's just not a match anymore. He had his shot at the Giro but it looks like one crashed ruined it. He also doesn't want to be in a role where he solely has to rider for another rider. So there is nothing left for him in this season in a team like UAE. The only climbing tours left are TDS, Dauphine, Tour and Vuelta.
