      Personally don’t like at all that Roglic and Vingegaard attacked Kuss. If they take the jersey from him, after how he has ridden all year to help them succeed, it would be a cruel and classless betrayal. I hope Kuss attacks them and wins tomorrow.

      Well it's an exciting race for sure and I hope Kuss hangs on for the overall. Pro Cycling is not actually a team sport since nobody is Protecting the Red Jersey. It's all good but it would be helpful if they dropped the Team Sport BS so that the casual viewer can keep up with what is happening.

      Why does JV need to keep flexing at every opportunity? I don’t get this team dynamics?
      Sure the strongest must win, but why didn’t they close these gaps much earlier in the Tour? Why now all of sudden we getting these odd moments were they should be actually controlling the race not breaking it up into individual agendas! I mean then just make any GT an individual entrant and scrap team riding. Look at the mess over at UAE!
      Sepp thus far has remained neutral but his going to need to show tomorrow his A game. The stage will suit him and it’s time folks to end this madness tomorrow. His got to go up and take this… no more following. Time to also build a new team around this guy, I’d never fetch a bottle for these guys again as for giving you my wheel?… well, you wait for the Shimano car, I’m busy right now! 😂😂😂

      Very poor birthday present from Vingegaard and Roglic today. I have lost so much respect for those two over the past couple of days. And after all the years of selfless support that Kuss has given them too!

    11. Fela on

      Kuss doesnt just deserve to win because of his nationality. He's not the best rider and definitely not "even the best player" in his own team to use an American analogy!!! Tomorrow JV will have the red jersey, and rightfully so, it should be him and Roglic fighting it out.

      As a big fan of Jumba Visma, I am dismayed and dissapointed by the team's approach to Sepp Kuss in this race. Surely, the main thing is to win La Vuelta – whether it's Primoz, Jonas or Sepp, the main thing is to win the race but the way Jumba's management have allowed the likes of Primoz and Jonas to attack Sepp Kuss is very disappointing. Both Primoz and Jonas have in the past relied on the efforts and loyalty of Sepp Kuss to win their Grand Tours – to now attack him and potentially wreck his chances of winning La Vuelta is, I believe, likely to cause some unrest within the team… The JV management need to step in and do the right thing – for the whole team.

    15. mallgrube on

      How come that Jumbo-Visma's finest won't help the race leader but rather fight him? He who in the past helped each one of his team mates to win? He who has shown so much sportsmanship in the past really could do with the support of his "friends".
      Or am I being naive?

      First i wish the studio they would get Jonas surname correct,the point about sepp he is a domestic first and foremost,anything else is a bonus .
