Thumbs up for Sepp, he deserves taking home this red jersey for the great job he has been doing during last years. Cycling is also about respect and class.
And what to say about Remco. Almost half of the spectacle of this Vuelta has happened thanks to him, even the spectacular breakaway and victory today on the last stage. What a spectacular rider!!
Tadej tried something similar in TdF but the group was not as strong.
Some get Ganna a Lead Out train
This year's Vuelta in a few words: two tigers on a leash. Pretty painful to watch😅
…and thank you for the superb and thoughtful commentary,
Congratulations Sepp Kuss and the entire Team Jumbo-Visma on your victory in the Vuelta a Espana. Congratulations on your history forging three Grand Tour wins in one season. Proving you are the best pro-cycling team in the world this season. Congratulations Team Alpecin–Deceuninck, kaden Groves on winning three stages and taking the Green Jersey.
A great end to a superb Vuelta
Great race Jumbo Visma my team ❤
Congratulations, Sepp Kuss! 🇺🇸 As a cycling fan, a CU-Boulder alum, and an American I'm proud of your hard earned racing achievement. That sprint by Groves was impressively long too. He was done before the race was done.
“I see kuss as an outsider”
-the guy who got beaten by the now legendary gc kuss
remco: i didn't know we are sprinting for the win😁
Really great Carlton Kirby — superb coverage every single stage.
lets go my jumbo!!!!!
Awesome coverage throughout!
Groves ahead of Ganna. Exactly the expected result. Oh wait, how did this happen???
Thanks to the strong breakaway guys for giving us dramatic final kilometers!
GC Kuss!
USA! USA! USA! So happy to see an American atop a grand tour podium again!
That Jumbo-Visma team kit and Sepp's bike is 🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations TEAM Jumbo-Visma. Three are on the podium but it took eight men to win it. Here's to Robert, Dylan, Jan, Wilco and Attila; the engine room of the team. You all made history. 🟡⚫ 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
They should’ve had Jonas ride a yellow bike and Primoz a pink bike
So pleased for Sepp. However, do TJV have a dilemma now with 3 possible team leaders?
Congrats Sepp on a well deserved overall victory! And Ganna was pretty impressive again in the sprint. Gaining, but just a little too late. He reminds me of a certain Fabian Cancellara. Not a true sprinter, but so much TT power.
Kuuuuuuss!
Ganna did 468 watts NP for 47 min, and that‘s his exact FTP at 84 kg 💀
Great job, GCN! Congrats to to Colorado cyclist!
Kuss: What a legend!
Kuss earned it on MANY tours. Hats off!
Great finale to a superb race. Yay SEPP!
I often only watch the last few minutes of the last stage of the Grand Tours but I will check up at intervals if anything is happening. Today I checked in just as Evenapol made his break with about 20 miles to go. The composition of the break was fascinating and it showed just what it takes to stay away from the bunch. The highlight for me was seeing Kaden Groves in there because it deprived the bunch of a strong chasing team and it showed that the guys who win bunch sprints aren’t necessarily just sit in sprinters. Take Mark Cavendish’s national title wins for example and how he had to ride without any team support.
I want to send a big thank you to Robbie McEwen for staying up so late to commentate. I love his insights and his sense of humour.
They should've wrapped Kuss' bike in a great big bow. Such a "gifted" rider he is.🙄🙄
Viva la Kuss!
Enjoyed the 2023 season greatly.
Glad to see sep kuss won la vuelta..he earned it. What would be the team shake up after this season
alexander vlasov does not have a flag on his name, can anyone tell me why?
the last stage owes the winner to remco he just want the breakaway to win.
What a year of Grand Tours for Kuss 👍😎👊🏻💥 Unreal.
I mean, to go from the Giro to the Tour, ans then to winning the Vuelta…. that's something else.
Sure, perhaps the rumour mill about his performance(s) may run wild. I want, and prefer, to think he did something very special — naturally, of course.
Congrats to all 4 of the jersey winners, they all truly earned it.
A shame Remco blew up early and couldn't push JV for the GC, but it may have cost Kuss if he did so I'm not too sad.
kaden <-goat of sprinter 😮😮😮😮
SEPP TEMBER! SEPP RULES!!!!
Congratulations Sept!! GCN best coverage and commentary!!
Thanks
well deserved 🎉
Congrats TJV for helping Kuss to win the jersey….bravo jonas and primoz
of Kuss he will win..
Super Sepp is a very likeable guy.Congrats my man!
Greeting from Ontario Canada.
GC KUSS!!!
Coupla wines with the lads before the highlight reel eh carlton 😇
The way Sepp sacrificed himself for the team all season it’s nice to see him get his moment of glory!! The work he put into le tour alone was something to behold!!
What an amazing commentator Carlton is we're blessed to have him 🎉
Happiest for Kuss
Ugh this commentary
Its like he's bored describing one of the most interesting races ever
stop spoiling the result in the thumbnail!
