Full interview

I imagine him signing with Movistar and then be forgotten in a few years. He doesn't have the head for this on the large scene.

Full interview

Who are "ellos"? Give me some names Ayuso!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

The gift that keeps on giving 🤣. The team bus must be a fantastic place to be.

The whole video is gold, also the start of the interview is shown here and you can really see him smiling and into something with the "Good morning!!".

I lost it when he says that the team only gave him a 30 minute notice for the statement (which was agreed beforehand to be released after La Vuelta), Ayuso told them he disagreed with the contents of it and UAE replied to him "well, you should be happy, the first statement we wrote was much much worse" ( face) LOL

“No entiendo por qué el UAE hizo el comunicado sin avisar. Quieren dañar mi imagen. He sufrido una falta de respeto tras otra por parte de la dirección del equipo. Ha sido una dictadura”

“I don’t understand why UAE issued the statement without warning. They want to damage my image. I’ve suffered one disrespect after another from the team’s management. It’s been a dictatorship”

Translation so I've included the original Spanish

It's all great stuff, it really is

Now, you're talking, Juan. Can we have the full low down on what goes on between the scenes at team UAE?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ok, this is getting interesting. I hope he crushes the WC ITT and beats Waffleboi too.

 

[Berniece]

Nice to see Ayuso talk like this in the open, all cards on the table. UAE showing their true colours again

Pure gold. I would love to know who said this.

I watched most of the giro and most of the tour. I've watched 3 minutes total of the vuelta so far. The vuelta is easily the best gt this year.

So Broe was right. This was done yesterday.

"[UAE] is a dictatorship" 👁👄👁

 

[carolina]

I don't like Ayuso, but that's some shamefull behaviour from UAE.

 

[dazaau]

I don't like Ayuso, but that's some shamefull behaviour from UAE.

Meh, he broke/was released from his contract and still won't work for the team while they continue to pay him. They should have just sent him home and released the statement. This can't go on surely - though I'm 100% here for it!

 

[CyclistAbi]

I'm still waiting for someone to say how he's been mistreated.

Sports media/fandom created a public group bullying him, Ayuso responded by exposing them for who they are. In terms of the UAE as a team it's clear they made him a scapegoat for everything and only added fuel to the fire, Ayuso responded by signing for another team on where he will be paid better and will be team GC leader.

All in all 2:0 for Ayuso.

 

[Lequack]

Ayuso the people's hero

 

[Peyroteo94]

I don't like Ayuso, but that's some shamefull behaviour from UAE.

It is shameful even if I think, before yesterday, Ayuso was trolling his managers by dropping even before the final climb.
UAE management had a very childish behaviour, period. You don't respond to a child (Ayuso is a egocentric child) with child behaviours. They are not showing they are better than that. I already told many times, they are successful thanks to Pogacar, there is no doubt in my head, they are very unprofessional in many areas of cycling.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Ayuso the people's hero

God of the sea!

 

[CyclistAbi]

I was over the mon when he beat Visma/Rogla in 2020 ...

Let me guesss and since that day no other rider you cheer for won a race?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Ayuso is a godsend for this Vuelta.

 

[noob]

Now that they've gotten rid of Ayuso let's all guess who the new internal scape goat will be.

He reached and agreement with the team to terminate his contract. Nothing wrong with that.

They knew he was leaving before bringing him to the Vuelta. They should have made it clear to him what his role was. If the team can't control him, then it's the teams fault.

Watching his interview, it's clear to me that there are other issues with management.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Now that they've gotten rid of Ayuso let's all guess who the new internal scape goat will be.

Vine or McNulty.
