Juan Ayuso discussion thread

[noob]

I just realized that the link I posted made me think "either or". But two things can simultaneously be true. Ayuso might be a pain in the a55 and someone at UAE might have mentioned Abi Dhabi. It doesn't have to be either or.

For 2026, I think Ayuso wins UAE Tour and no races other than that

That's the only race Pogacar's teammates have to win, and they don't .McNulty, who has become a one-week races farmer farmer, couldn't win this one

Could see Del Toro and Almeida sent to it next year

Too high of a category for Mcnulty. He is farming .Pro stage races only.
See, UAE developed farmers for each category.
Pogacar - Big races
Almeida - WT on week's
Del Toro - .Pro 1 day's
McNulty - .Pro stage races

He could win the Algarve and Paris-Nice if Vingegaard doesn't go. His chances in Fleche depend if Pogacar will go; in a finish like that, I wouldn't rule out if he surprising Remco.

No chances in Liège, over 225 kilometers race. The same applies to the Tour. Although the stages are short, he'll lose his chances on the queen stage.

Juan Ayuso reads a handwritten note in which he admits to past mistakes with certain expressions "due to nerves" and thanks UAE and Mauro Gianetti, but warns that he will not answer any questions related to his former team

Juanito pls take a trip to see Ricky Bobby for a month or so, get some exercise with high plains drifter. Prolly takes some, but gives some. But. Pls don't mimic his haircut, one is enough.

Evenepoel isn't riding Fleche, but there are many others that have a better punch than Ayuso on such a steep climb. Nys, Roglic, Del Toro, Vauqelin, Pidcock

Nice comments from Juan today.
Elevated him a bit in my book.
