"I don't know what for, to kill us?" - Juan Ayuso furious after having punctured due to nails on the road at Vuelta

Juan Ayuso, young star of UAE Team Emirates, was happy to have arrived safe and sound at the finish line in Barcelona in the second stage of the Vuelta a España. His day was far from easy, not least because he suffered several punctures.
"It has been a bit chaotic, I have punctured 3 times, I have been chasing for a long time, one for nails on the road, thank you very much to that person, I don't know what for, to kill us?" Ayuso said in a post-race interview. He wasn't the only rider affected, however the situation was quite annoying to the Spaniard. Ultimately he made it home safe without losing time on the rainy day, and without a crash unlike Primoz Roglic and Geraint Thomas.
Regarding the measure of taking the times at 9 kilometers from the finish line, Ayuso makes it clear that it was the cyclists who forced it and that not doing so would have been very dangerous, being very critical of the organization of the Vuelta a España.
"It didn't go slowly, there was a lot of tension because of the water, it went cautiously. I was happy to arrive safe and sound. Unlike yesterday, which was a disaster for the organization, today it was difficult but they made the right decision because the road is slippery, it's a skating ring, if we had had to risk our necks at the first change it would not have made sense.
Finally, he referred to Monday's stage in Andorra, which he expects to be quite hard: "It will be very hard, it will rain, storm, the port has 2-3 km quite hard, we will have to see the feelings and spend the day and think about the days to come".

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024

- Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- Obviously there is the question of enormous willpower but some injuries are extremely specific. A torn meniscus for example can function pretty well during cycling whilst making it close to impossible to go up or down stairs or walk normally.Mistermaumau24-11-2024
- First of all, I hope now all is ok with your baby!. Yeah, about to not accept foreign phone number is a big problem also for me. I have economic interests in 2 countries, I think that all can be ok with my Italian number... but NO! The world is globalized but not for bureaucracies.
