“He has already shown what he is capable of by being third, by fighting with the best and by working. Ayuso… He's a runner with a lot of character, with a lot of potential, with a lot of talent and it's a winner”, declared Rebel Fernandez. Indeed, before its abandonment on the Tour, Ayuso had left a great impression, notably by finishing 3rd in the 4th stage which passed through the Galibier.
Concerning 2025, the latest rumors indicate that Juan Ayuso has a good chance of being one of the co-leaders of the training UAE Team Emirates on the Tour of Italy. “I am convinced that we will see him succeed this year. Do I see him winning a Grand Tour? It's not that I see it, it's that I'm sure of it. He's been a teammate before and if he has to do it again, he'll have to do it again. I see him participating in a Grand Tour, I also see him helping. He is a team runner and a runner who knows very well that when you help someone, they will help you later with more pleasure. This year, he will help you and have his own sports area.”he explained.
