Vuelta a España 2023 stage 20 highlights. A 208km hilly stage from Manzanares El Real to Guadarrama. The longest stage in this year’s race, an almost cruelly long, climb-filled route with no fewer than 10 categorised ascents. Although none of the climbs are that long, or steep, this stage has the most climbing metres of any at this year’s Vuelta, 4,431m in total. It’s hard to see the riders sitting back on this stage, a last shot to win glory for many.

We need a Netflix series on this year’s Vuelta. From the chaos on stage 1&2 with the organisers to Kuss’ stage 6 breakaway win to Roglic and Vingergaard dropping Kuss on Stage 16 to Remco’s amazong come back. Action packed cycling tours this year. Wow
Found this interview with Sepp in Ciclismo Internacional from 3 years ago. Glad it came true!😅
Do you see yourself as a grand tour contender some day?
Eventually I hope to be a Grand Tour contender. Physically, I think I can cope with racing for three weeks and it suits me, but what I need to work on the most is keeping the incredible focus for a whole Grand Tour. As a support rider, you can mentally switch off a bit on days that aren’t as crucial, but going for GC it’s a complete different mentality. That’s something I still have to learn, and it’s not normal for me to be nervous all the time, so I would have to do it in a way where I could be a ‘relaxed’ leader.
Would that be possible in Jumbo?
I think so, at the end of the day, you just need to be the best, right? Also, I would function better going into a race with multiple leaders. There would be a bit less pressure and I could be more free in the race instead of having seven guys looking after me all the time which can be stressful.
There´s a lot of talking about 3 leaders or one. What´s your opinion about it? Remember what happened to Movistar…
I think the main difference is, at least from knowing Steven, Tom, and Primoz, there’s no big egos. Of course they all are ambitious and want to win, but in my opinion, they have a common interest rather than an internal competition and I think that brings out the best of them and the team around them. 👍
Sepp Kuss deserves this. In any other team he would be the leader. And he fought hard for the lead over the other riders outside of his team.
Proof that nice guys don’t always finish last !!
Well done Sepp 👍👍
Well done kuss he definitely deserves it. Nothing to do with him,But I’m getting a bit fed up with the pointless last stage of the grand tours. These races should be fought to the very end
It's great to see an American win a grand tour
Nice to see 🤗
How can Kuss run the big three and be so strong? Before this was impossible
Joe Biden would have slapped Slovakia and Denmark with sanctions had Kuss been denied here,this is a victory for the entire cycling community
We are witnessing history
now this! is how you end a stage if you re leading the race….an great race and an awe-inspiring season by TJV, when was the last time one team won all 3 Grand Tours? Sky w Wiggins and Froome?
Based on this commentary, you'd think Evenepol was the race leader. Can we please stop focusing on someone waaaaaay down on GC?
Thanks GCN, I don't think anyone beats your highlights and comments on all the big stage races! Really appreciate all you do as a team!! 🎉🎉😊😊😊
Having the TdF and Giro winners as your domestiques.
A perfectly timed finish for the stage win.
And a winning Team for the race win.
What a belter of a Vuelta! 👍
M 🦘🏏😎
beautiful end to this race
Bravo Sepp, and what a Jumbo Summer! Kudos for Remco the future is still very bright
🎉🎉🎉 Best Tour this year!!!
Good job, Jumbo. All 3 GTs, huh?
You guys must just out train everyone else, huh?
Not a chance, thanks for making it all a big joke. Can’t wait to see the “training gear” of Jumbo. 3 GTs, not a chance.
Nice team job for Jumba V. Excellent Vuelta for Kuss, he deserve to achieve something for his job for his mates. But still i think didnt won the best one
Сепп трудяга ! С победой ! Роглич! Винегар! Товарищи по команде!!! Штаб Висмы лучший ! Лучшие стратеги и лучшие тренера ! С заслуженной победой !!!
Remco didn’t look good on the climbes, maybe not really in top form, or no GC rider🤷♂️
