Juan Ayuso discussion thread

[Cycling111]

In PCS, they've added Ayuso to Lombardia, and Guangtxi.

Didn't they say he wouldn't be racing with UAE anymore?

Well, they probably want to reach 100 wins. That's why. They've sending him to Guangtxi, hoping he can win 2 stages and the GC.

He confirmed in the interview after The Europeans that it was his last race. Apparently, it had been an 'intense' season. Four one-day races, and a fairly serene Vuelta since May...

It would be funny if he lost on purpose in Guangxi, just to keep them from 100.

I read the original article the tweet quoted here

I am lost for words.

But if what he says is true...

So Pogacar is only winning because he's actually trapped at UAE.

I dislike this team more and more. They have so many riders I like, I find myself very conflicted. I wish Pogacar would get himself clued up on what UAE is doing in Sudan and break his contract to go and ride for EF or someone like that.

Honestly, I know Ayuso gets a lot of hate on this forum, but frankly good for him.

@noob Juanito keeps on delivering. I don't think it's the end. The team surely made some management mistakes regarding him but as for his teammates riding against him: for 4 years he hardly ever had to help Pog (so he was favoured in a way) and in the rest of their races usually there were co-leaders and no clear hierarchy (that's why there was some internal rivalry during races). It was the team's strategy and he can complain but thanks to it he had a shot at victory in almost all races he started.

Or maybe he and his handler Gianetti has trapped the team and that is why he is winning.

How can a guy who, as a cadet, received help from Matxin so that his father would become the owner of that team complain about the management?

He's had Matxin's support since he was 15, and he's undoubtedly been one of the riders who has received the most support from the team. He hasn't accepted that there have been other cyclists as good, or even one much better, than him. That has been his problem.

A rider who joins the team with a previous relationship with one of the directors must have had every opportunity and facilities. The only thing he can hold against UAE is not having been the leader in the Tour, but nor would he have been at Visma, the reason is obvious. That's not a mistreated; it's a reality of having a superior teammate.
