"I finish here as the first among humans" - Juan Ayuso praises Jonas Vingegaard after another phenomenal performance

Once again, Jonas Vingegaard was simply beyond everyone's reach at the penultimate stage of this year's Tirreno-Adriatico. Behind the phenomenal Dane, there was a fierce battle for second place. And it was UAE Team Emirates' Juan Ayuso who showed better kick in a sprint of two against Jai Hindley.
"I finish here as the first among humans," Ayuso praises Vingegaard in a flash interview. "Happy for him. He's really on another level right now. I felt a little better than yesterday. When Jonas attacked, I tried to follow his wheel. But as everyone could see, I had to stop. I ran out of air and exploded."
"Still, I'm glad I tried it," he continues. "I tried to attack and make it difficult for the others. Winning turned out to be impossible, but it went well. I think I'm on the right track."
With his winning sprint for second place, Ayuso secured the leading position in the points classification, although he was not really aware of it at the time. "Honestly not, no," he laughs. "Second place - first among the people - was the most important, especially in a duel against someone like Hindley. He is also one of the very best riders in the world. But the points jersey is a nice bonus, although Jonathan Milan will probably take it away from me again," he finally refers to the flat final stage.
