"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.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
