UAE Team Emirates secure overall of Tour of the Basque Country

UAE Team Emirates rider Juan Ayuso secured the overall title in a dominant performance at the Tour of the Basque Country (officially known as Itzulia Basque Country 2024), the biggest win of his career. Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos-Grenadiers) claimed the final ultra-tough stage.

UAE Team Emirates entered the 137-kilometer mountainous stage, starting and finishing in Eibar, with all cards on the table, and Ayuso delivered a masterful ride, taking advantage of the final kilometers to secure the win and the team’s 21st victory of the season.

“Today has been a great day, but one where teamwork really counted,” Ayuso, recently second in Tirreno-Adriatico, said.

“We got the riders in the break, Marc then got across and that was the bridge I needed. Without them, it wouldn’t have been possible. It’s a huge win. Getting my first overall stage race victory and in the WorldTour as well – it couldn’t be better.”
