Vuelta defense coming up.
Team has a choice for their #1 rider. Sepp or Jonas.
His interview at the Dauphine sounded worse than a head cold. Looks like he got worse from there. Rest up, soldier…
I think you meant Jonas won in 2022 & 2023 and not 2021, 2023
Man, hope Sepp gets better soon.
Dang it. I had a fantasy that Jonas became Seppy’s super-Dom and it became a Kuss-Pogi show.
A shame that the nicest guy in the pro Peloton won't be there. And an amazing rider to boot. Love his style, love his attitude. He'll be missed by TdF fans of all colours. Hope is recovery goes well.
People counting out Vinegar already? terrible
I've always enjoyed watching Sepp leading his team on some mean climbs.
It's probably not a big deal for Visma. Kuss hasn't shown the same form this year as he has in the last 2 years. They have other good riders that can fill his shoes.
Ugh no bueno
Sorry to hear this. I was really looking forward to seeing Sepp in the TDF. Get well soon!
Hope dude recovers hella soon. Always fun to watch him make climbing look so effortless.
Insha Allah jonasvingagaar will overcome the difficulties jonasvingagaar is going to win 🏆 💪 the toure 🏆 de france 🇫🇷 2024 jonas win 🏆 the 💪 🏆 tour 🏆 de france 🇫🇷 2024 insha Allah
Interesting choice of Lemmen as Kuss's replacement. Might have thought Uijtedebroeks would be it but guess he's not ready either!
What a shame for Sepp and cycling fans for this year's TDF. Love Sepps attitude and style.
…devastating news for fans and for the overall competition! Also a year Kuss will never get back…age waits for no one.
Another statement that shows how much luck, good and bad, affects sports. Would have been nice to see a solid Visma team vs solid UAE in this year's TdF.
Well I hate to see that Sepp is a heck major part of Jonas's arsenal. This year Jonas doesn't have attacks coming left & right to wear Tadej down & take advantage of him. This year it's more mono a mono Jonas verses Tadej. Tadej is the better cyclist regardless of his loss to Jonas team (not the individual) Tadej with his team as sharp as they are will turn the tables on JumboVismaLeasabike this years Le Tour no doubt. 🇨🇵🚵♀️👍🏻💯🇸🇮
Looks like a fishboy vs pogi in the tdf ,dont know about golden boy remco(so far over rated), dark horse is roglic
I think we underestimate how important Kuss is to Visma…. This might just be the nail in the coffin for Jonas' tour win.
Wow!!!!!!! Other teams will test the entire team right away. The Battle is truly on. Good Luck Jonas and Crew.
Time to add Cian Uijtdebroeks
Sepp has not been on top form this year
Feel bad for Sepp
But couldn’t happen to a more deserving Dane. 🐟 🇩🇰
What the betting odds for Jonas Vingegaard winning the GC now?
Well that is a huge blow to the American audience. Best scenario now from an American perspective is for Jonas to ship a bunch of time in the first few days and ride the Tour in support of Matteo.
This could set up some issues at the Vuelta. If JV isn't strong enough to beat Pogacar and others at the Tour, he'll likely look to the Vuelta to save his season. Just like Sepp Kuss. That could be a real issue.
Ya que le den el Tour a Pogacar, no vale la pena esta competición este año solo para ver ganar al mismo
So sepp can’t recover from Covid but Jonas can from nightmare injuries.. would I be mad in thinking there’s more going on here lads 😂
at this point it feels like jumbo visma used up all their remaining luck last season smh
Feel Better Seppie! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bummer, was looking forward to seeing sepp in TDF…BUT every tour has surprises and new stars , that's why we love it
No! Worst news I've heard all year.
Now Primoz has a chance
Oh no😢
Are the stars aligning for Remco to win ?
Easy Sepp doesn’t wants to be a domestiq for a leader whom he knows can’t win. It should be for him instead to try win the TDF. Interesting team
a less than 100% Jonas will definitely miss Sepp, and with a less than perfect build up Jonas needs the full support of a 100% spot on Visma team which may not be possible
