  Ciccone won Donostia Klasikoa, which was very similar to this, but he is suffering from the fatigue

  Maybe it's because of the issues in the management. UAE make him feel like a leader who has to be a domestíque, whereas Visma would make it clear that he's a domestíque who can sometimes get his own chances. A good manager can teach even the most selfish rider that, by helping one's teammates, one helps oneself. Ayuso knows this, but the problem is that this is simply not the philosophy at UAE. At Visma and at LiDL-TREK, they do believe in this.

  In my opinion, both Ayuso and UAE have done the wrong things. Whether or not UAE were trying to ruin Ayuso's reputation, releasing the statement in the middle of La Vuelta was the wrong thing to do. At the same time, Ayuso went too far with his rant. He should have kept it to "We agreed to announce this after La Vuelta, but for now I'd like to focus on the race and helping the team". If he'd done that, enough people on social media would have said "UAE are trying to ruin his reputation" and UAE would have ended up on the back foot. As it stands, everyone is divided as to whether to support Ayuso or UAE. However, I'd say that Ayuso has the advantage now, because if he works for Almeida over the coming stages, everyone will be on his side. As for UAE, there's nothing they can do - the damage is done. All they can do is apologise to Ayuso. The fact of the matter is that, being on his own, Ayuso attracts more sympathy - people can say "He's a young man, only 22, and fighting a superteam all by himself." No-one can say "UAE are a huge team but they have to fight Juan Ayuso all by themselves."

  I’m not sure it’s a question of redemption, he may be helping out Almeida personally, am sure when they spoke to each other to clarify the situation UAE didn’t, they agreed on some form of modus operandi regardless of team instructions.

  And how do you imagine they’ll do that? Got any tips for them?

  You know as well as I do they only half believe in GC, they’re not stupid, Jonas is another level, if he crashes, has a bad day or Trine falls ill, Almeida will win anyway, with or without teammates so go figure. If Visma had allowed riders personal ambition like in the Tour, UAE may have forced the issue but as Visma have shown total unity, UAE are leaving riders to pursue their goals.

  UAE management have always been terrible, rider talent saves them.

  How many jobs have you had? You think employers are holy or what? Never seen employers abuse employees or try to make them sign contracts with illegal clauses? Never been in a company where you get contradictory orders from different sides of hierarchy? PS He earns less than ageing Adam Yates who has limited upside potential so by UAE standards, kind of average.

  Ayuso gets more pressure because he's a better climber, but, nevertheless, UAE's management is terrible in this Vuelta. If this was the Tour, no-one would be targeting KOM.

  I think it is very clear that Giulio Pellizzari is stronger than Jai Hindley - when in the group, Pellizzari rides behind, so if Jai is in difficulty, Giulio knows straight away, and works when Jai can't keep the pace. The fact that, on domestíque duties, Pellizzari can still be 9th on GC, equal on time with his 8th placed teammate, shows how strong he is.
