At the Giro d'Italia, Mauro Gianetti, manager of UAE Team Emirates-XRG, experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. Isaac del Toro excelled, defending the maglia rosa and extending his lead, while team leader Juan Ayuso struggled with a knee injury, finishing well behind. Despite declining performance, Gianetti emphasized Ayuso's importance to the team, urging him to contribute and persist in the race. Despite speculation of internal conflict, both riders and the management maintain team unity. With a long contract ahead, Ayuso's position remains secure, although pressures from both internal competition and external interest are evident.
"Ayuso hasn't disappointed me. When you don't feel well on one of the hardest stages of a Grand Tour, it's never easy to recover from it."
"It's important he stays in the Giro and stays part of the team. He can perhaps help Isaac in the next few days and play an important part in the team's race."
