Juan Ayuso is to leave UAE Team Emirates-XRG at the end of 2025 after “differences in the vision of development plans and in the alignment with the team’s sporting philosophy”, it was announced on Monday evening.
The Spanish GC rider, who is currently riding the Vuelta a España, had a contract with the team until 2028, which will be terminated early. His next team remains unclear.
“Juan has been a valuable talent and we are grateful for what we have built together,” UAE’s CEO, Mauro Gianetti, said in a statement. “At the same time, our sporting project has always been focused on continuity, group harmony, and building a winning team. We believe that, in the best interests of both parties, this decision is the most consistent with the values that define our organization. UAE Team Emirates – XRG will continue on its path of growth and development, confident that the team’s identity and strength remain our foundation. We wish Juan every success in the future.”
“I would like to thank the team for the support and opportunities they have given me over these years,” Ayuso said. “I have had the chance to grow and to compete alongside the very best, and I know that what I have learned will always remain part of my professional background. I now feel it is time for me to take a different path, with the same enthusiasm and I wish UAE Team Emirates – XRG success for the future.”
