Sprint of a break? Roger Adria, he's also a rider to keep an eye on.

Juan Ayuso makes his World Tour debut, finishing 18th at the San Sebastian Classic

It's the first time that he has done such a long race and he arrives in the same group as Adam Yates and Simon Yates. He's still 18 years old.

I think the result speaks for itself w/o the Yates bros. Not sure there's much to it that it's his first 220km race, but it doesn't hurt.

What's his schedule for the rest of the year? Will he do some of the Italian fall classics?

Spoiler

Or does Pogacar not want to do the Vuelta cause he doesn't wanna get clobbered by The Great Juan.

Tour de Luxembourg is confirmed by UAE. He can probably go for GC there.

Italien fall classic seems realistic. He could also go for GC in Giro di Sicilia instead.

Strong race program.

You guys think he could debut in La Vuelta next year? Or is that too soon.

With a strong first half of the season and not much racing from late April until Vuelta I can’t see why he wouldn’t.

Some Spanish races in February, PN in March and maybe Catalunya, then finish it off with Basque Country. If he can get some solid top 10s I can see him do the vuelta for sure.

 

[Lequack]

He's doing the 9 stages of Tour de l'Avenir, a junior race previously won by Bernal, Pogacar and the likes. Race starts on Friday.

DNF in Tour de l'Avenir today after a crash

Sad, just saw that looking at today's stage results in PCS and didn't see him in the top 25, went to GC also didn't find him at top 25 and finally saw his DNF

Was it serious? Anyone knows?

Don't think he broke anything, so there's that. But his shoulder was hit too hard to continue. He'll still be able to ride some other races this year, but like he said on Twitter: "Se acabo el sueño"

In all the misery from a crash he didn’t injured himself seriously and that it’s the most important. I’m glad that it’s not serious. I’m eager to see him at WT level

Skipping GT next year. he said in interview w Marca

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.

 

[Lequack]

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"

Juan Ayuso fue una de las sensaciones del ciclismo en 2021 y este año intentará consolidarse en el World Tour formando parte del UAE Team Emirates de Tadej Pogacar, un ciclista al que admira el talentoso corredor español. “Está claro que tener al me
