Juan Ayuso, the young Spanish cyclist, cannot hide his enthusiasm to face his first Tour de France, where he will be one of Tadej Pogacar's luxury teammates in UAE Team Emirates. Ayuso expresses the excitement and responsibility he feels to be part of this prestigious race and such a competitive team.
"I've dreamed of being in the Tour de France since I was a kid, so to be here about to start my first Tour is amazing. It's a privilege to be part of a race like this in a team like this, so I'll try to enjoy it as much as possible, but we also have a big goal and that's to win. We come from a good training block in Isola and the group is very united and motivated, so we can expect good things in the next three weeks," said Ayuso in a press release.
Ayuso's illusion of riding the Tour de France is palpable, analyzes our CiclismoAlDía colleague Juan Larra. Since he was a child, he has visualized this moment, and now, being so close to the starting line, the dream has become a reality. His excitement not only lies in participating, but in doing so as part of an elite team, which adds an extra dimension to his experience.
Ayuso highlights the intense preparation and spirit of unity that characterizes UAE Team Emirates. The recent training block in Isola has been instrumental in strengthening the cohesion and motivation of the team. This rigorous preparation is key to meeting the challenges that the Tour de France presents, and Ayuso is confident that the hard work will pay off over the next three weeks of competition with teammates of the calibre of Adam Yates and Joao Almeida also meaning that he will be under much less pressure in the race.

- 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.
