Juan Ayuso may be only twenty years old himself, but the Spaniard is already coming with his own youth team. With the help of the Fundación Ayuso foundation, the UAE Emirates rider hopes to prepare young talented riders from the province of Valencia for the big job, Spanish sports website Relevo reports.
Ayuso, who will celebrate his 21st birthday in just over two weeks, is already thinking about the future of Spanish cycling at a very young age. His training team will be built up from a foundation called Fundación Ayuso. This foundation not only looks at cycling, but also wants to commit itself to other (social) areas.

The youth team will operate from the Valencia region and next year will mainly contest regional and national competitions, with the occasional trip across the Spanish border. According to Relevo, Ayuso has already put together a selection and has already filled the places within the technical staff.
Ayuso thus follows in the footsteps of compatriots Alberto Contador and Alejandro Valverde. The two - now retired - Spanish cycling greats decided a few years ago to each set up their own foundation and youth team. For example, Valverde is now at the head of two U21 teams, one for the women and the men.

- Seems farfetched - I agree. Mas has beaten him once. Giro d'Emillia I think - 2022mobk20-12-2024
- Barring injuries, by the time Pogacar's dominance fads there will be lots of new young talent. Pogacar is about 1 1/2 years older than Remco. That's nothing.Sweep20-12-2024
- I actually don’t find that too impressive. In my later forties I did similar figures for a 3.5% gradient as a total nobody with no wind assistance. Am sure there’s margin for improvement there, especially looking at all the names on that list.Mistermaumau20-12-2024

- The race where he overnight suddenly turned nuclear after being packfodder at best for several years. His Sky days after that Vuelta and Pogačar’s last season shall remain the darkest post Lance stuff cycling has witnessed. Good riddance Froome.
UltimateOpportunist20-12-2024 - Finishing the Vuelta seems to be a reasonably attainable goal. Getting on the team to do that will be the more difficult challenge.
santiagobenites20-12-2024 - To be fair, he has now stated his fuel regime had been corrected and the results concur.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
- You can look at things mathematically sometimes to get a better understanding of performance distribution. To be an elite cyclist you may need a number of qualities, say 8 some of which are quite obvious (engine), some more debatable (body type). If you look at distribution you’ll get a whole bunch with 6 or 7 very elevated values but 1-2 not so perfect and occasionally someone will pop up with all 8 really well developed. However, statistically, for that to be a given the chances drop by about an order of magnitude each time so in general for each 2 at the top you’ll have 20 at the next level, 200 at tge 3rd, 2000, etc. I don’t see the actual distribution as so weird, we have a few too many right at the very top level but statistically it’s just because for the past 15-20 years there wasn’t really anyone clearly standing out, level 1 was bunched with level two.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
