Juan Ayuso discussion thread

[Sciatic]

All great points , it's sounds funny, but the problem at UAE is too many good quality, leader capable riders. Happens w lots of fresh food items, you get too much of a good thing you gotta give some away..or you can make it into jelly or can it..Ayuso on toast maybe..
Del Toro is holding his own..20th today's stage @51 seconds back and 17th on GC
Also another too much of a good thing situation, Landa put together a great, great effort today, who knows what a Remco would have brought to the race...

Nice metaphor. Going to check the fridge

Ayuso kind of shot himself in the foot, metaphorically speaking because if you look at Almeida he worked for pog when he needed too, which wasn’t actually that much. Still came 4th in the tour which is probably what he would have come as leader anyway and now gets rewarded with leadership at another grand tour. Ayuso should have just done the bare minimum 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was trying to write a post saying basically exactly the same thing 2 hours ago, (got stuck in perfecting hell 🤣). I haphazard either Almeida is simply more clever/sneaky or it's Ayuso being like all the other hot-headed impulsive guys. Most likely both lol.

I get a feeling discontent with Ayuso has brewed in the team for some time. I mean even Yates basically called him out in tdf. Probably a long time coming.

UAE Team Emirates may leave behind the man who has brought in Tadej Pogacar and Juan Ayuso

UAE Team Emirates had a roller-coaster of a start at the Vuelta a España. Adam Yates has now won in Granada back into the GC fight on the same day that João Almeida abandoned the race. Behind the scen...

CyclingUpToDate, the pinnacle of news reporting! At least they provided a source this time. And going to that source, you'll find a way less overdramatized and clickbaity article.

From google translate, as my Spanish is not great:
"[T]he intention of both parties is to renew. Therefore, there are matters to deal with, something that will be done in the coming days taking advantage of the presence of the Italian Mauro Gianetti (the CEO) at La Vuelta these days."

LR Patric Broe talked about those rumours yesterday on transfer podcast speculating that Ayuso and Matxin might leave in a "package deal"

 

[ingsve]

Del Toro will not be a GC threat. I don't think he's disciplined enough to not lose time unnecessarily based on what I have seen this year.

My prediction came true that Del Toro would not be a threat on GC this Vuelta.

Joxean Matxín closes the Juan Ayuso "case": "With 21 years you want a leadership role, but you adapt because Pogacar is the best in the world"

Joxean Matxin was asked about Juan Ayuso once again

So case closed and everybody is happy.

They put him in concrete boots and took him for a ride on the sheiks yacht to talk it out

 

[pastronef]

nice win today in Luxembourg. will boost his confidence

 

[balac]

Seemed to struggle yesterday, but these types of TTs are the best for him.

 

[Didinho]

He will look good with the WC Jersey next week 😁

 

[Netserk]

Typical performance today.

Typical performance today.

He just way way to hyped for what his actual level is

Ayuso will never be a top top rider, simple too many things he is so bad at. Boy can't position, can't work in a team, zero explosiveness, very inconsistent and non tactical awareness.

All qualities of a proper Movistar rider

 

[ashhutch1997]

The lads 21, I think you guys are being a bit harsh regarding his level.

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.

 

[Mako]

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.

 

[Mako]

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.
