But you and others could, considering we saw how it went between Ayuso and Pogacar.

Please no!
"Ayuso was supposed to do the Tour. Do you see him? No, he won’t do the Vuelta" - UAE team boss has no plans to send Juan Ayuso to ride the Spanish grand tour
While Tadej Pogacar has a pretty flawless Tour de France, the same cannot be said about his teammate Juan Ayuso. The Spaniard with a Vuelta a Espana podium finish in his palmares was intended to stay...cyclinguptodate.com
Maybe time for Denk to make an offer!

Considering Enrico Massi is no longer a rider at TdF, Ayuso would be perfect for Movistar. As would C-Rod, but Ineos somehow got the signature last year. But it seems like a no-brainer to get Ayuso on Movistar at this point tbh with the the way things are looking internally at UAE at the minutes and the plethora of weapons they have available. And after the Vuelta, he won't talk about him no more, but Del Toro instead..
I never really understood that to begin with. Youre insanely driven, yet you sign a long ass extension with UAE with Pog on their hand? Very confusing, especially if youre not even willing to do any kind of job for that rider. Even more puzzling from UAE to even select him instead of doing a classic Vuelta-only schedule where you can fit loads of really good 1 week stage races and then do the slow buildup after Suisse/Dauphine with Burgos + San Sebastian

Perhaps he's so ambitious / confident that he thought he'd be better than Pogacar in a couple of years?
Movistar make sense from a roster point of view but I reckon they don't have the money to buy him out.

Time is on his site 100%. I only wanted to slightly criticize that Ayuso has wasted that benefit rather carelessly in the last 2 years!

Despite the comment from Giannetti, Ayuso has been added to the Vuelta roster on PCS for some reason. Not sure if they are just assuming or is they are basing it on some contradictory info from somewhere.

He asked to do the Tour. Maybe with Poga also doing the Giro, he thought he had a chance to lead the team.
That was expected outcome. I even said before the race, Ayuso is too young, to pull. In such way we all expected Pogi will be supported at this Tour edition, he needed a line up of veterans instead. It just doesn't work like that, they were asking for trouble, doing it like that. On top of that all this talk, from team, on how he will now be punished, not riding Vuelta. This talk won't work, all BS, he will ride Vuelta.
It's an opportunity and if they are smart they will make an offer.
I am not a big fan. It might not be statistically true but Primoz is always falling off his bike. I think his ship has sailed. I still like him, but no love..he crashes for no reason.
Lets first see if Pogi will go and who will pull. On top of that i doubt any of the UAE Tour train isn't interested, getting rewarded. Hence the question remains, on who will pull?
Have seen multiple interviews of sports people from Slovenia and they all say, that Roglic is more popular than Pogacar..
I feel that both are rather popular, home and abroad.

Of course Ayuso is going to be present at the 2024 Vuelta a Espana!
Gianetti's statement is the most open way possible to say: "Get in shape muthafucka!"
It's up to Ayuso and his reaction now. If he trains properly and is in race winning condition of course UAE takes him to Spain. If he capitulates, because he's out anyway and flirts with other teams instead he won't be in Spain.
Character test. As simple as that.

I don't think he will start. Much better to reward Yates and Almeida with leadership there and a free role for Del Toro.

Agree. Honestly, as far as Ayuso is concerned, get him out if you can!

I'd have him do Pogi's schedule as helper for the rest of the year, and then tell him that his program next year depends on him fulfilling his role. That also gives him the chance to redeem himself.
that WAS true cause Rogla was first elite slovenian rider but now I think is very close
