Let's be the devil's advocate against my own judgment (cognitive dissoance is the spice of life):
Has Contador said something about Ayuso that would have made Auoso have a beef with him?
(beef, Contador, no joke intended there)

Need to look that up. In the meantime, is this thread just full of discussion about Ayuso’s shoulders?

Remirez de Ganuza. The Eddy Merckx of Rioja.
Cvne is Hinault, with Vivanco/Carlos Serres you get everything, Nibali, Valverde, or MAL, like La Maldita, the purest form of Garnacha that mankind can produce...raspberry juice with benefits. Rafa will know it's me.
Never under-estimate Marcos Eguren and La Nieta: Berzin then, Remco now...Senorio de Villarrica, forget the steak and bring the best chorizo: Carapaz...
I can go on and on...great places, great friends, great wines, what life is supposed to be.
He will be up against Pogacar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel though. So the talent in this “generation” (a bit stretched but the others are not old as well) is just insane.

The effect of a small handful of top riders on blocking GT wins isn't that big. Dominant eras don't last as long as many often anticipate, and the top dogs tend to concentrate at the Tour anyway. It was like 3 months ago Pogacar had the next 5 Tours about sealed.
It's still pretty hard to assess how good he'll become. Pogacar was a year older when he got 3rd, but it was also Pogs first WT year and he won a load of races and 3 stages at that Vuelta already.

Not at all. Pogi will play Roglic's role from this Tour: fake leader to fool JV.

A year ago it was clear that Pogi, Rogla and Bernal would dominate and completely block the top step of the podium of this year's GTs. But wait, neither of them won any.

He says he wants to win the Vuelta next year.
He knows Evenepoel is unlikely to defend his win, Vingegaard is unlikely to do two GTs, Pogacar won't do the Vuelta next year, and Mas will finish second no matter what. It's him vs Roglic bike handling skills.

Good article.
We already knew that Ayuso was a very talented rider even before this season, but after finishing the year with a third place in the Vuelta at just 19 years of age with covid in between, expectations become even higher. We will need a few more years to know if he is indeed better than Pogacar and the rest but I already expect him to start the Vuelta next year as one of the top favourites and to probably win a World Tour stage race during the spring. Given his fast sprint, it will be interesting to see if he will develop the engine that Remco or Pogacar have for the monuments/WC or if he will be more of a stage racer like Vingegaard.

Odds that Pogacar not racing Vuelta is actually due to UAE appeasing Ayuso?

I think next year, ayuso, pogacar and almeida will be together at la vuelta. Joao almeida already confirmed yesterday on portuguese television that he is going to the giro as a leader, and then he will also go to the vuelta.

Don't you think that Almeida will be at the Tour? Or did he say that he will do the Vuelta?

He said that he will do the giro and vuelta. No tour for him.
It’s so they can win all 3 GTs in one year with 3 different riders.

He said this information, this week in a interview on portuguese television.
Unfortunately i don't think joao almeida will be capable of winning the giro. He confirmed that is FTP is around 380 Watts, and his height race of 65 kg. That gives a FTP of 5.8 w/kg. He would need to improve a lot.

Almeida could I feel is more likely to get 10 top 5s without ever winning
