After dominating Giro d’Italia with Tadej Pogačar, UAE Team Emirates have confirmed that Juan Ayuso will target overall victory at the Criterium du Dauphiné which begins on Sunday.
The 21-year-old will then join forces with Pogacar at the Tour de France, in a supporting and understudy role.
Ayuso won the Itzulia Basque Country after Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič crashed out and then finished fifth overall in the Tour de Romandie.
“We’ve been training really well as a group at altitude the past weeks and the atmosphere is good with lots of guys going well so we’re aiming to be up at the sharp end of the racing. The Dauphine now will be a good tester before the Tour de France.”
