After a week of GC skirmishes, crashes and bunch sprints, favourite Juan Ayuso says he's keen to get into the mountains on stage 7 and see the first major climbing battle between the overall favourites on Friday.
Third in the 2022 Vuelta a España and widely considered Primoz Roglič's major rival for the overall in this year's Giro d'Italia, Ayuso is currently lying sixth overall, 35 seconds down on leader Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) and 18 seconds down on Roglič.
