Tadej Pogacar's successor at UAE-Team Emirates has already been found and we can say that it promises for the future. Thus, during an interview for Spanish Eurosport, Joxean Fernandez Matxin, the sporting director of UAE-Team Emirates, spoke about the successor of the Slovenian runner with a view to the future. And he seems perfect, even though Pogacar is currently in dazzling form. Matxin explained that Juan Ayuso was the obvious successor to the three-time Tour de France winner and Giro winner. With strong words, he praised Ayuso, only 22 years old and whom he sees winning a Grand Tour in the future.
Ayuso designated successor to Pogacar
“Ayuso? He has already shown what he is capable of by being third, fighting with the best and working. He's a rider with a lot of character, with a lot of potential, with a lot of talent and he's a winner. I'm confident we're going to 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“, confided Matxin, before assuring that Ayuso would also be able to put himself at Pogacar's service when asked to do so.”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 (as leader, editor's note), 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“, explains the sporting director of UAE, who has some great talents in his team.
