      The interesting thing is Kuss doesn’t have to beat Jonas or Primos to win, but all the others have to beat three of them, which will be very strong in the mountains!

      Many strong contenders here for the GC, hopefully it stays exciting!

      Great to see a local boy (Colorado) in the red jersey. Sepp has done a TON of work not only this year but in recent years, so he richly deserves it. Note to self: Don't go out drinking with Kuss.

    7. Yves Gysel on

      Sepp Kuss is an amazing rider. That's his 3rd grand tour in 1 season. How is that even possible? He looks very good and normally he works for Primoz or Jonas, but the guy is now even better in the Vuelta. Well deserved red jersey. Now he does not have to work, saving energy and on top he has the unbelievable support of Primoz and Jonas. I am very impressed with Sepp. He can go and climb with the best climbers. So, can he remain this top form, if so, I would not be surprised that he wins this Vuelta, 10 years after the last American, Chris Horner. He's not a ITT specialist, but that red jersey will make him super motivated to ride a good time trial. Remco Evenepoel is the favorite to win the ITT and Sepp Kuss must make sure he does not loose to much time on Remco. Knowing Remco, he will go full gas. No rider is this aero as Remco and in this mostly flat ITT with speeds well over 50 km/h that's certainly an advantage for Remco. Luckily it's only 25,8 kilomètre long. If Remco has super legs, he could easily take 2 minutes on Sepp. Now the gap is 2 minutes 22 seconds. So Sepp, this will be the most important ITT you will have to ride so far into you career. Good luck. Sepp can win this Vuelta.

      All I can say is, good on ya Sepp, & go for it. Non time trial specialists have been known to exceed all expectations. If not, there are mountain stages get to come.

    14. Dante Garcia on

      I like Sepp that much. He is a great rider and a domo at that. ButI don't believe so. As the man himself doesn't believe it himself.
      Making content for the sake of garnering views is absurd.
      If you are a fool..do not think cycling fans are naive as you.

    18. Archie Waldron on

      My understanding was Sepp didn't want to deal with the added responsibilities of being a GC guy. Also, he's one of my favorite riders but I'm not sure his time trial is good enough for a GC contender. Either way, here's hoping everything works out for him. Go Sepp!

      Regarding your ad for your new website – until you get onto the Roku list of streaming options, you're useless to me. I would definitely sign up if you were a Roku option.

      Jumbo Visma are probably looking to create another head for their two/three-headed snake; none of them can challenge Pog in a tour unless Pog has two credible opponents to split his energy and attention between.
