Ayuso: 'I was quite tired and couldn't help the team much'
João Almeida lamented a lack of team support in the aftermath of stage 9 of the Vuelta a España, but fellow UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider Juan Ayuso told reporters that he was unable to offer much assistance.
"I was quite tired and couldn't help the team much. I'm not in the fight for the overall, so there's no point in pushing for the sake of pushing," Ayuso said, as Marca reports. "I wouldn't have been there. Pushing for five more minutes makes no sense." [Marca]
