Less than a month ago, Juan Ayuso blew out the candles on his 20th birthday cake with a podium in the Vuelta a España under his arm. His story is not new in this cycling that burns deadlines at breakneck speed, he is another example of those prodigies who have managed to take over the scene in just a few years.
Juan Ayuso talks to us about his present perceptions and future illusions, with a clear premise: it was clear to him that being a cyclist was his goal from the very moment his friend Mateo invited him to race a bicycle race. In this time he has been growing based on a clarity of ideas and goals that have led him quickly to very high peaks, integrated in the powerful UAE Team Emirates.
Now he is enjoying a well-deserved and necessary vacation after his first full season in pros and going from asking Alejandro Valverde for an autograph to measuring himself with him on the road.
