He was given Giro leadership this year, he had no motive to leave.

If he does want to leave, I hope UAE doens't make it dificult for him and ask for a lot of money.

A lot of teams to be honest. Ineos have Rodríguez for example and he is not better than Ayuso. Redbull would be a great team too.
Lower teams like Movistar would pay him those 2 or 3 millions for sure.

To me everything points towards Lipowitz being more of a GC contender than Ayuso so not so sure they are interested(they probably wan't bigger fish, ie Remco), Movistar? Maybe I suppose but in their position I would likely try to recruit cyclists capable of winning stages instead but that's just me.

'Cyclists capable of winning stages' as opposed to Ayuso who can win everything from stage races, road stages, TTs, one-day races?

I suppose you are right but I have the impression that he want's to focus on GT:s(maybe I am wrong) and I just don't buy it, also I think they could get like 3 cyclists capable of winning stages for the same price, and probably less drama aswell.

Maybe unfair but the guy just gives off bad vibes and seems to be anything but a team player to me.

Then again I am not the one recruiting cyclists for teams and wouldn't be that, albeit a little, surprised if he ended up in Movistar.

Can see Movistar, Astana and Inoes as the options... But not sure they will pay what UAE wants... And only Inoes have riders UAE would be interested in for swap

Why? Ayuso did better than Lipowitz and he's 2 years younger, in both GT and 1 week races.
Ayuso is 22. Are there any other 22 year olds with a better record than Ayuso?
Or even 23 or 24 year old?
I think you probably you have to go up 25 (Remco) to find someone with a better record.

Hahahaha, Ayuso throwing a hissy fit because the directors doesn't want to give him sole GC leader position in a grand tour, only co-leader.

It seems Ayuso has achieved his purpose of being taken to the Vuelta instead of Pogacar.

This whole team change has been a way to put pressure UAE, and they'll have convinced Pogacar not to go this year. A mistake.

What now? Is Ayuso doing vuelta? The likely reason should be Almeida prep won't be ideal after that crash?

Well, this is the most sensible thing to do, Pog can't do another GT. UAE guys will make sure to make it as tough as possible for Jonas with Ayuso and Almedia both being capable of winning the race.

There will only be Juan Vuelta winner. He’s gonna beat Vingo if he doesn’t get sick or crash.

Just want to be first before it actually happens. Hope he can give us a battle for 3 weeks with Vingo.

I will take that action!! If Jonas Vingegaard's legs are @80% as good as TDF, he will beat Ayuso..if team tactics are the same as Tour, Ayuso will finish in front.. But head to head, current form Jonas is excellent..

Well first he'll battle his own team for 2 weeks, and by the 3rd week he'll finally battle other contenders if he's still in the race. :D
