The Spanish Juan Ayuso, from the UAE Emiratesrevealed this Saturday that “the idea” he has for next season is to run the Tour de Francea race in which he will join the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, double winner of the gala round in 2020 and 2021.
Ayuso, 21 years old, is one of the most promising Spanish cyclists and, despite his youth, he was third in the Tour of Spain in 2022 and second in the Tour of Switzerland in 2023.
“The Jumbo cyclists are superior to everyone and have been fair winners in everything this season,” said Ayuso, during the presentation of the Madrid Criterium, where he will begin to close the season to think about the next one.
“I just came back from Dubai with the team. The idea is to debut in the Tour and try to see how it goes,” declared Ayuso, who will share experience with Tadej Pogacar in the French round.
“He is currently number one and it is normal for him to go with the stripes in the Tour, but as we saw in the Vuelta, the smartest thing is to take some riders who are there,” he said.
The year 2024 will also be marked by the Paris Olympic Games and the Zurich World Cup.
“Of course I would like to be in the Olympics and the World Cup, which could be better for me. What I want is to go to the Games well so that the coach can get me, although I want to be in both. events and in my mind that”, he concluded.
