Juan Ayuso finished in the top twenty in San Sebastian Classic

Tuesday 3rd August 2021 – CARLOS LÓPEZ with Mike Smith

Last weekend Xàbia cyclist Juan Ayuso participated in the Clásica de San Sebastián, a race celebrating its 40th edition which is on the professional cycling calendar as a preparation between the Tour de France and the Vuelta de España.

Ayuso made his debit in a WorldTour event (the highest category of professional cycling) and managed to sneak into the top 20, finishing in a creditable 18th position, crossing the line 1m 36s behind the winner, the American Neilson Powless, who finished the course in 5h 34m 31s.

Ayuso summarized his performance on Twitter:

Cumpliendo uno de mis sueños debutando en el Worldtour🤩
Gracias a todos los que, a pesar de la lluvia, habéis estado en la cuneta chillando mi nombre. Di todo lo que tenia, a pesar de que se me hiciera largo el final, disfruté durante todo el día.
Todo llegará…👊🏼 pic.twitter.com/2XV44xMo3l
