UAE Team Emirates have unveiled their line-up for the upcoming Tour de Romandie with Juan Ayuso set to return to action for the first time since riding to a third-placed overall finish at the 2022 Vuelta a Espana.
"After some niggling injuries I'm happy to announce that I'll finally start my season next week at the Tour de Romandie," a delighted 20-year-old Spaniard told his team's official website. Big things were expected from Ayuso after such an impressive Vuelta but his 2023 campaign has been put on hold due to some persistent tendonitis.
Alongside Ayuso for UAE will be recent top-10 finisher at Gent Wevelgem, Mikkel Bjerg, Giro di Sicilia stage winner Finn Fisher-Black, the experienced Rafal Majka, former UAE Tour winner Adam Yates, Slovenian Domen Novak and 26-year-old Ivo Oliveira.

- Perhaps he has what Mark Cavendish had, the Epstein-Barr Virus. It caused him severe and unexplained chronic fatigue. I hope he gets better.
parisbound0001-11-2026 - How can medical staff act like that? pretty disgraceful! the guys down and they're near seeing him off ;/
leedorney01-11-2026 - I think that this is exactly what Jonas needs at this point in his career. It's something that could revive his passion for winning, and he's physically more than capable of winning one of those races as well.
santiagobenites01-11-2026 - What a great race! Couldn't look away. Can't wait for the euros
Rafionain-Glas01-11-2026 - I think other competitors also had great Tours, so it wasn't that Ferrand-Prévot necessarily failed in some way - it's more likely that the other top riders lifted their game and maybe also a bit of luck with no crashes, etc. It's the Tour de France after all. It's not meant to be easy to defend your title (the few exceptions like Pogacar prove the rule).Pogboom01-11-2026

Run buy boys from their bedroom hehe Their very subjective aswell, people on twitter even said their pure visma fanboys, if you listen to Ruben silva guy pre TDF this year all he said turned out to be wrong and constantly fail to realize visma isnt where they was before roster wice or means to contest even RBH or Lidl anymore, ,very biased ppl and when you run ''news articles that way its problematic..miguel01-11-2026
- The new joke of the year in 2027: "If both guys (Pogi and Seixas) finish upright on their bikes and both don't get sick for some reason, I think Paul will fight Tadej to the end and will possibly beat him in 2027 at the Tour, yes, I just said that." ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...PogiSloFans01-11-2026
