We all know the drama sepkus and vimala bike have been going through ever since he won the 2023 Welter and finally realized that winning feels even better than supporting teammates and because of that Vima has been very quiet about what his position in the team will be as providing equal opportunities to all
Their Superstar Riders is close to Impossible but now it seems like they have finally found a recipe for sep cous and his 2024 season so what’s their strategy and what role will cus play in the up coming season see the main philosophy for sepkus and vimala bike
Going into the 2024 season is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it the Durango’s beloved Superstar is riding with more ambitious goals and a greater responsibility on his Dutch team this year however his mindset and performance approach are still very much the same his longtime trainer is well aware of
What works best for his top level climber after his welta AIA Victory and he claimed that he’s planning to use that same exact winning methodology again for the 2024 season his statement was I’ve worked with SE a few years now and we both think we found the right
Method for him to be able to perform at the biggest moments we really got the training and schedule right last year we saw it worked out as close to perfect as it could be we plann to follow that again this year but there’s one more thing to mention here not only is his
Training going to be as good as ever but his mentality also shifted to where he’s well aware that he’s actually capable of winning a race as big as a grand tour and that by itself is huge cous himself said I think this last season just gave
Me a lot of confidence and I hope to take that into the next season discovering that I could go over my mental or physical limits and this season I could surprise myself by doing three grand Tours by winning the third one and being really consistent in all
Three of them when I know that I can do that that gives me a lot of confidence it’s easy to stay motivated when everything is going well so hopefully things keep going well vimala bike dominated the 2023 worldour tour with their unique approach using marginal gains but they’re not going to change
Their successful approach for cous as he enters his seventh season with the team and again why would they if it’s working perfectly see sep’s trainer isn’t just his personal trainer mature hore is also the head of performance at visma and a direct coach to a handful of the squad’s
Superstars which means he’s got quite some experience in the field he recently revealed that cous will be following a training plan similar to what helped him win the red jersey last year at the wel are espia focusing on both the amount of training and the level of intensity he
Said we are very happy what sep has achieved and he has more ambition after last year but we do not think we should suddenly change his approach or program for that we’ve learned what works and we don’t want to change that there’s no need and mind you he’s worked with cous
Since 2019 the eagle of Durango rode the season of his life in 2023 the super domestique who suddenly turned into a top Contender LED Primo RIT and yon’s vagor to victory in the jro ditalia and tour to France and during those races he also reached his Peak physical condition
But then there was the third Grand Tour on the calendar the VTA ispia where GC cus was born and after his victory everything changed for the fan favorite worker B in 2024 cous will be vima’s so-called second card right behind their main Superstar yonas vagor with rogl
Leaving for a h grower there’s now room for the Coloradan to take on a leadership role whose calm and composed demeanor brings a newfound confidence into this season even his trainer noticed that saying sep will play his usual very important role for the team at the tour to France and then defend
His title at the wter which will be a new scenario for him of course sep took a big step last year but his approach physically and mentally and in life hasn’t changed we don’t want sep to change and he doesn’t either that continues with his approach to the bike
And training Matthew explained that cous is just that guy who feels great both physically and mentally after long days of cycling unlike some other professionals sep just really enjoys biking and just by looking at his straa profile and his 2023 activity the point is proven cous was one of the pelon’s
Biggest volume riders in 2023 riding a whopping 34,000 km and accumulating over 653,000 M of elevation gain in 12 months if you ride a bike regularly you know how insane those numbers actually are what’s funny though is that his trainer doesn’t see a reason why sep wouldn’t be bothering those leaderboards again in
The 2024 season in his trainers words sep is a guy that likes to ride his bike whenever the sun is shining and he’s happy he’s on the bike riding lot seems to work for him and we’ve seen it’s what makes him feel good if anything with him
I’m concerned that he rides too much but we’re not going to change that we can just appreciate how how valuable loving what you do professionally so much that you also do it in your free time actually is and it’s anything but common his straa stats show that cous hasn’t
Been doing a lot of focused interval training during the winter so far instead he’s been building the ground work for his upcoming season with long steady rides around his home in Andor and at vima’s early season training camp on the Costa Blanca his coach also explained that they’re going to wait
Until around May when the expectations on them is really going to start increasing and at that point they’ll increase the focus on sep’s schedule until then though they’re following a much more relaxed approach and letting him just enjoy his rides and soak in those sunny days his trainer also said
He will do the hard workouts that he needs to do but we don’t push the ceiling or push the limits too far that way he always has a big margin for improvement when it’s really necessary but it looks like cous has taken his relaxed preparation very seriously there
Are sta reports of his morning rides covering over 200 km distances and lasting over 6 and 1/2 hours while hitting multiple personal records at the same time and with those long miles in the sunny weather of Spain cous is gearing up for his first races of the
Season at the VTA Mia and the classica hyen which is known as a favorite among cycling enthusiasts for its Gravel Road segments after that cous will be participating in stage races in algar and Catalonia filling similar slots in the calendar where he has been racing every year in the postco era but right
After those the workouts that truly count are coming on his menu even though cous won’t be going back to the jro after his success in Italy last year the training camps with vizal Lisa bike in Sierra Nevada and tiges will give him a workload and intensity similar to what
He would experience in a grand tour both cous and the team simply think doing all three grand Tours again would be a bit too soon cous said I’d like to do the jro again but next year feels like a bit too many TT kilometers and also it’s
Nice to go to the tour and focus on that his trainer also pointed out we know what we need to do for sep to be best at the races that really matter which for him and us is the grand Tours we take time to build him up with the method for
Him to be top in summer obviously that doesn’t mean he can’t reach a high level before the summer but if the results are not there early on then it’s also really not too big of an issue he’s been riding as a domestique for so many seasons now
That even just looking at the success of his teammates which he helped on their Journey brings him Joy so if everything goes according to mat’s long-standing plan the eagle of Durango will be in great form when the tour to France starts in late June departing from the
Italian abuto and if things go as well as they did in 2023 he’ll be flying even higher when he puts on the number one bib to defend his title in the welta a espia as many have pointed out though he’s now only got one teammate that
Could be wanting to Dethrone him as in the P season he had two

Marginal gains🤣🤣🤣💉💉💉💉🤫🤐
Nice guy + fishboy vs Pogi # 2024 🔥
imagine thinking sepp kuss is actually a gc contender lol
I think Sepp could be the 4th best GC rider right now. Hope he can deal with that pressure.
Jonas could have crushed him in the Vuelta. Wasn’t given the opportunity however.
He’s a good rider but I doubt he’ll ever again be on the top step.
he didnt have 2 team mates that wanted to beat him. sure, there were some moments it looked like it but in the end it was decided they wouldnt attack Kuss anymore. so i think if roglic would ride the vuelta this year he is more dangerous for kuss then he was past year. for vingegaard things will be the same, but he will try to be better in the first weeks so he wont lose much time and can also still go for the win.
Keep on it, Sepp!! Looking forward to the season. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 💝
😂😂😂amazing he will be crushed by Pogi, Roglic and Jonas and it was a team decision that he won the Vuelta
Thinking Jonas will go for the TdF Vuelta double this year. The gift was given last year. Not foreseeing another one.
lol
fishboy was given the chance to beat kuss in the itt at the vuelta last year and cracked. after the tt kuss was in red so kuss was the leader–it's just that primoz was too stupid to understand that because tjv did a shitty job explaining it to him in short sentences with small words.
saying fishboy could have crushed kuss in the vuelta is admitting that kuss could have crushed primoz in the giro and fishboy in the last two tours.
