Tour de France is still on but people are already thinking about the Vuelta a Espana and in recent days there has been a lot of talk about the team that UAE will send there, with rumors – ruled out – of Pogacar trying the grand tour treble or Juan Ayuso returning to race in Spain.
But Mauro Gianetti, CEO of the team, quickly denied that and was even quite harsh on the Spaniard.
“Ayuso was supposed to do the Tour. Do you see him? No, he won’t do the Vuelta. I have a lot of strong riders to send there,” is the strong resolution of Gianetti.
In recent days, there have been rumors that the young Spaniard has a contract that states that he won’t go to ride a grand tour for Tadej Pogacar.
“But do you think I would sign a contract like that?” Gianetti responded. “Whoever goes fast has the team at their disposal. And Tadej seems to go fast and win a lot.”
