As an impression of already seen for Juan Ayuso (UAE Emirates-XRG) on this sixth stage of The return. Indeed, the co-leader of the Emirati training at the start of this 80th edition did not experience the same fate as his Australian teammate, Jay Vine (UAE Emirates-XRG), this Thursday, August 28, since the Spaniard was quickly distanced from the first slopes of the final ascent to Pal Andorra. This is a situation that we have already seen on the roads of Italian Tour Last May, but which is absolutely not worrying for the 22 -year -old climber, who spoke to various media on arrival.
“My goal was not the general classification …”
On arrival at the top of Pal Andorra, the native of Barcelona conceded more than seven thirty-two minutes, obviously abandoning any ambition for the general classification. He then spoke to the microphone of various media: “I say it since the first day, even before departure: my goal was not to aim for the general classification. The team asked me to try, to see if I progressed, and out of respect, I did it. But today, as I still did not feel well, I let myself be won. Yes, I have no idea who arrived in front of. Who won? to help the team and to best prepare the world championships.
As for the pressure, I did not feel it, it was rather you. Because I knew from the start how I was, and a little in what perspective I came, with other goals in mind. Afterwards, it's normal: I always arouse expectations, and people hope that I play the general, as I have always done. But hey, for me, it's not like on the Giro, where it had been a blow. Today, it's different: I let myself go and look forward. Can we aim for a step if I get a little? Yes, exactly. First, it will be necessary to see how the team is going; From what you told me, it is in good shape. It will be the priority, then try to get a stage victory “concludes Juan Ayuso.
