Juan Ayuso discussion thread

Indeed. Almost every rider not named Pogacar has had some bumpy periods during their first few years as a pro/emerging star.

As if a 21 year old can't get better at positioning, teamwork, explosiveness, consistency and tactical awareness.

But pointing this out every time someone writes young riders off is a bit of a losing battle.

I have no doubts about his physical ability. I just think he's an entitled little ***

 

[ppanther92]

Just saw that he is supposed to do GdL. Will he drop out again as always when he is supposed to ride for Pogacar?

I would bet serious money on it.

So Ayuso did no Italian race these last weeks. Interesting. Any insights?

Apparently he's set for the Giro in 2025: https://cycling.today/juan-ayuso-set-to-ride-the-giro-in-2025-and-avoid-the-tour/

In the Ayuso Team UAE jersey, no one can tell if you crashed yet!

First picture not too bad, but scroll through for a closer look at team colours asphalt and fresh blood.

What is this, the jersey for the winner of the Matxim's golden boy classification?

 

[Rob5091]

As predicted by yours truely, it'll be Ayuso against Hindley at the Giro.

 

[Peyroteo94]

The bald fraud is not a fraud after all? Or Ayuso is already peaking in March just like last year?

 

[Lequack]

He can't stop winning this man. Will Pog have to work for him from now on?

Let's see if he is not too hot so early. Roglic is old and his team is great so it is a unique opportunity for him. He must deliver in the Giro after two underwhelming seasons (GTs).

 

[Red Rick]

He's just Spanish Marc Hirschi

 

[Lequack]

He's the Spanish Valverde.

No mate, the bald fraud is still a scammer. Do you remember how he was beating his chest after Christen won the stage in Algarve? Well, 3 days later Christen was smashed in the TT. Ayuso is a great talent but he will never reach his full potential while being coached by Mr. San Millan.

"I've never been better. I'm at my best, but that doesn't mean I think I'm at my peak of form. The leap I've made this winter has been the biggest, by far, of all the ones I've made in the pros. I think I still have a margin, and this was my most relaxed winter.

Hello 👋 is there anybody here? Roglic, remco, jonas are u here... One of the best teenage sensation has now got the right training regimen. Good luck!

Not sure why you posted this in the Pogacar thread, so I'll answer here.

I'm looking forward to see him ride in the Giro, but he still has to proof he's able to challenge the current top 5 in GT's for a TDF podium.

 

[Red Rick]

Ayuso talking big in the early season?

Never seen that before.

His big mouth again. Can't wait to see him out of the podium in the Giro

 

[Peyroteo94]

Last year he also was very strong in March. Let's see where he will be in May.

I don't think its only a mouth thing this time by his legs also spoke damn good. I think him and adam at the giro will be quite the opponents for the competition and i have a feeling uae are gonna do the grand tour treble this year

So for you, Ayuso is the future Giro winner?

Yes, just look back from where jonas came from. He was at best a secondary domestique behind kuss in vuelta 2020 and won the tour 2 years later. I believe if a talent gets the right stimuli it can go to the top.

The way up for those two couldn't be further from each other. But not disregarding that things can move fast.

Visma sent Vingegaard off to an "academy" after his Tour of Poland meltdown. Turned him around or more likely, calmed him down, but even so he had a babysitter at breakfast time to make sure he ate his Weetabix. One day we might find out what that "academy" was.
