Juan Ayuso excited to be back as his 2025 season begins at Faun-Ardèche Classic: "I can’t wait to get the racing started"

On the 1st of March at the 2025 Faun-Ardèche Classic, UAE Team Emirates - XRG's Juan Ayuso is set to become the latest big name to get their campaign's underway this year. After winning the French race twelve months ago, the Spaniard is also keen to get his season underway with a bang. 

“It’s been a great winter of training so far and I can’t wait to get the racing started," Ayuso previews in a press release to UAE Team Emirates - XRG's official website. "Last year I was flying at these races but obviously my main objectives this year come a bit later in the season. These first races will be more of a test of the legs and return to the rhythm of racing for the first main objective of the season which will be Tirreno-Adriatico."

With a strong support team including compatriot Igor Arrieta, Swiss prodigy Jan Christen, the always dangerous Isaac del Toro and Brandon McNulty, plus Julius Johansen and Gen Z rider Matthias Schwarzbacher, Ayuso returns to France with a very impressive lineup around him. "Given the strength of the team we’ll have many cards to play," he assesses. "So I’m excited to get back in the team environment and race with the guys again.”
