He does those short 5sec accelerations to get a small gap and then he destroys everyone by riding tempo seated. A bit like Robobasso, but Ayuso is actually a good descender.
He's already got an almost Mas level hairline at his age, new imbatido confirmed.
That is amazing!One more crazy note on his perfromance at the baby giro:
Mihai Simion: ''The 18-year old Juan Ayuso climbed yesterday Colle Passerino (4,1 km@9,9%) at ~6,5 w/kg in 13 min 04 sec, 25 sec faster than Bernal, Carthy and Landa in this year's Giro! Exploding head Pro cycling has found another phenomenon''
just wow!
He looks skinnier now than he was in the Giro del Belvedere earlier this season, his arms and shoulders looked more muscular.Great stuff. I think the seatpost mast is partly integrated into the frame so it can't go all the way down to the top tube.
The only caveat I could offer is that he's so young that metabolism isn't an issue with regard to weight. I've often thought that some climbers who excel at a young age may struggle to maintain a power to weight ratio and still eat a healthy diet
Heard Pogacar was short on climbers for the Tour.
You almost couldn't tell he's Spanish... until he says Giro dell'Appenino and GP Lugano.18 years old and no Contador levels of broken English this is gonna be very disappointing to get memes out of.
He has lived in the USA for a few years, that explains his good English.He sounds Norwegian or Belgian more like.

Are you worried about passing for an egotistical and conceited cannibal, for a bully?
In the Giro I always tried to go to the start 10-15 minutes earlier than I should to try to talk to people ... My team was riding very aggressively, we never let the leak, we always had the race under control. And it is true that there were people who were pissed off, asking us to at least let the break arrive. But, after all, the race is a race, and you were competing. But I was trying to explain that, that I'm here for the same reason as them, because you want to win, and I was trying to make relationships, and get people to know me. If I only win, I win, I win, and I don't talk to anyone, they only have the image of me crossing the finish line, or of me putting the team to shoot so that I can win, and they only have that image, they don't get to know me, they may have a slightly different view of me.There were people who had an image of me a bit bad, as a bully. When they know me they see that I am a very normal person, and it takes a little off ... although my way of running was not going to change whatever they told me. But in the peloton, when the race is going smoothly, I always try to start a conversation with the one next to me so as not to create bad vibes.
Thursday his 1e win![]()
