INEOS Grenadiers doesn’t hide that they are looking for a new star capable of winning a Grand Tour. The interest in names like Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic is already known. However, the British team is also searching for another great climber and has reportedly offered a long-term contract to Juan Ayuso.
The well-informed Italian journalist, Ciro Scognamiglio from Gazzetta dello Sport, reports that the Spaniard was a target for INEOS. There were talks, which in the end didn’t bear fruit for the British team, as UAE Team Emirates formalized a long-term contract with Ayuso, extending it until 2028, and for now, neither the team nor the cyclist have the intention of breaking it.
