Juan Ayuso discussion thread

Curious how much they are bending over backwards to accommodate Ayuso wanting all the races and leaderships right away when Jan Christen who I thought was nailed on to ride La Vuelta this year will have gone 2 full years in the world tour without a debut GT as will Morgado and both were, and still are, regarded as significant talents.

UAE have enough trouble getting their riders to perform as a team when Pogacaar is unavailable and you want to bring the worst culprit of riding for yourself in christen.

Almeida vs Ayuso can get really interesting. Let's just say that an exemplary cooperation shouldn't be expected

Christen is a great rider, though he also seems to be a bit of a 'free spirit' in the Ayuso mould. Morgado I've no idea, massive ceiling but seems to burn brightly then vanish, he was the same when he was younger.

Jan Christen?
Why not bring McNulty to the Vuelta as well while we're at it?

Like having Ayuso, Jay Vine and Marc "free from Pogi in the Vuelta" Soler wasn't enough.

Oh come on, Jay Vine would be riding for seven leaders who are worse than him, can‘t we replace him with someone less cooperative?

I love how Vine actually uses #TeamVine as a tag on his Instagram posts.

Ayuso's mistreatment in UAE is a false narrative. Few riders in the peloton have had more opportunities in GT than he has at that age. The fourth GT in which he will be the leader. He's also led one-week races.

Christen was very excited at the beginning of the year about making his GT debut. Now he'll be disappointed. Morgado also said he would debut this year.
