Agree that he is impressing and it would now be a surprise if he didn’t bag a pro win as a teenager.Getting closer and closer to his first pro win. Probably not the best at reading one day races yet, but he's very young and can improve.

It probably has to do with the fact that he was beating everyone with brute force in the u23 ranks, so he never really had to rely on tactics.Getting closer and closer to his first pro win. Probably not the best at reading one day races yet, but he's very young and can improve.
The new Pogačar.Not a bad showing today, he seems to be in good form

Should UAE try and control the stage tomorrow? Kid looks ready for his first pro win.
Based on that photo he needs to up his helmet hair game if he wants to be the new PogacarThe new Pogačar.
Still early to say but from what I've seen there's nothing he can't do. Very explosive but digs longer climbs as well, competent TTer. Recovery and endurance needs to be tested at this level, but I have a feeling he's like Pog 2.0Guys, what type of rider is Ayuso? Is he sort of between, lets say, Contador and Valverde? He seems explosive, but I wonder how good his GT level is, his TT etc. Seems to me that UAE has the two biggest stage race talents in the world atm, but then again, I haven't followed Ayuso at all.
Hopefully, he'll be an attacking type so we can have a young Spaniard to properly cheer for again. Giro/Vuelta double in 2023!
In the u23 ranks he rode the high mountain stages like Robo-Basso. Really short accelerations to get an initial gap and then he extended it and crushed everyone by riding tempo.Guys, what type of rider is Ayuso?

Seems like a clone of Pogacar to me. Haha.In the u23 ranks he rode the high mountain stages like Robo-Basso. Really short accelerations to get an initial gap and then he extended it and crushed everyone by riding tempo.
Yeah, they even have a similar climbing style, but from what I've seen his attacks are shorter than Pogacar's .Seems like a clone of Pogacar to me. Haha.
Does he ride the Vuelta this year? I assume no, but next year it should be on the menu and he might pull a Schleck/Ullrich.
He must be rooming with Soler...The Portuguese are already demanding he be sanctioned for all the wrongs he has done
