Control him how? All they can really do is terminate his contract - which is what they've done

He's with UAE since 2021. They (should) know him well enough to know how to manage/motivate him. He came to the Vuelta, knowing he was leaving the team. If UAE doesn't know how to handle one of their athletes, who's been with them for 4 years, then they are incompetent.

At what age did he extend his contract with UAE? Since people are holding him to it.

This is wild to me, sorry.

He could have been thankful for the exit and worked for the team on his way out to "prove all the haters" wrong and increase his market value. That's the smart thing to do.

I hope he has already inked a deal.

"If the team can't control him then it's the team's fault, Ayuso did nothing wrong" is some crazy talk, even Ryu didn't go that far for Betancur

I never said he did nothing wrong, but he clearly thinks that. And this fact, I blame on the team. He's been with UAE long enough to know his role and what it means to work with others.

Of course he can do whatever he likes, he is the one on the bike, but everyone is watching. Not only his team, but other teams and riders as well. I'm sure word goes around inside the peloton. This will for sure be like the AG2R-Betancur thing. The future will tell us who was right.

We know who is right. This doesn't change the fact UAE played this poorly.

And taking off his jersey in the celebration (to not show the sponsor). Gold moment, make it real Ayuso!

There are more subtle ways of doing that, as Arensman showed in Sierra Nevada '22

If he didn't want it to be known, why did he leak the news of his departure to his closest journalist weeks ago?
This guy just keeps contradicting himself.

What a complicated guy. Patience to his new teammates at LIDL.

What in your opinion should he be doing instead today? IMHO he is doing exactly what should be done. If GC battle would start to unfold he is in perfect position to support Almeida, if not then UAE winning another stage with him or Vine, what more could you ask for?

Explain it to me.

"I would like to finish my career with this team well, but it seems impossible. I don't understand why UAE made a statement without informing me. This is a dictatorship, a unilateral act directed against me. They are trying to damage my reputation," he said, indicating that he was unaware of the announcement.

"After this lack of respect for each other, it is difficult to integrate. For the sake of my teammates, I want to finish in the best possible way. My relationship with them, including Almeida, is good. He deserves my support," Ayuso said to numerous microphones and cameras. He stressed, however, that "I am very happy that the decision is now known, and next year will be great." Speaking without hesitation, Ayuso said, among other things, that the team told him that he could still be happy, that the tone of the original press release was much harsher towards him.

So it’s lidl? That’s going to be a disaster scenario because of their various specialists in most of the races they attend. It’ll once again be the team, and then Ayuso

Maybe they will reissue the press release after the Vuelta. Then they would still honour the original agreement.

However at this point I wouldn't actually be surprised if he ends up staying with the team. I'd definitely support a go fund me to make it happen, for entertainment purposes.
