"It was difficult to do something due to the strong wind" - Juan Ayuso settles for third in first mountain test
CyclingTuesday, 29 August 2023 at 01:00
Juan Ayuso was one of the most active riders in the first mountain stage of the Vuelta a España. The Spaniard attacked on the final climb, but couldn't get away and eventually had to settle for third place.
"Today I wanted to try something on the final climb to get back time. However, that was difficult due to the strong wind," said Ayuso through UAE Emirates channels.
Ayuso was able to sprint for victory in the last hundreds of meters, but did not come close to Evenepoel. Marc Soler tried to help me, but it was difficult to get past Remco on such a finish. But this result gives me confidence for the upcoming mountain stages."
The 20-year old Ayuso is currently in eleventh place in the general classification. He sits less than 40 seconds behind leader Remco Evenepoel.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
