🇪🇸 #LaVuelta23 Just wow! 😍
"He really deserves this. It's a pity he's not in the red" - Jonas Vingegaard full of praise for loyal Sepp Kuss

Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic put time into the reigning Vuelta a Espana champion, Remco Evenepoel on stage 6 of the 2023 Vuelta a Espana. It was their Jumbo-Visma teammate Sepp Kuss who stole the headlines however.
“It was a good day, we did really well. We put pressure on Soudal Quick-Step and that went perfectly," the Danish, two-time Tour de France winner said delightedly in a post-stage interview with Eurosport having crossed the line alongside Roglic, 32 seconds ahead of Evenepoel.
Up the road even further however, Sepp Kuss, the man for so long who has raced in the shadow of Roglic and Vingegaard was shining and taking a stunning stage win. “Sepp is amazing, he really deserves this," says Vingegaard. "It's a pity he's not in the red, he really deserved that."
Kuss now lies second in the general classification, 6 seconds behind Lenny Martinez. For Vingegaard though, after a few days of illness, this was a much better day. "It was okay, I felt better than the last few days. I did have some trouble, but luckily I was able to find my legs again."

- It goes without saying that all the readers on this website are keen cycling fans and cyclists. We may have differing opinions on Lance Armstrong, but that is coloured by our knowledge of cycling history. However, for all the non-cycling public, all they know is Lance Armstrong and his story of cheating. The vast majority of the world do not even remember Eddy Merckyx and many don't know who Pogacar and Vingegaard are. Therefore, it is the truth that Lance Armstrong has been very damaging for our beloved sport of cycling. It even makes us cycling fans question the current generation of cyclists, which is so sad that we don't get to truly enjoy the sport any more because there will always be some doubts in the back of our minds.Pogboom29-12-2024

- i don’t care when he started doping. i really don’t even care THAT he started doping. and i certainly don’t care that he lied about doping. the history of cycling is chock-full of dopers, from charly gaul to merckx to kelly to contador and blah blah blah. and they ALL lied about it. but i really DO CARE that he treated everyone like AT BEST like expendable cogs in his winning machine, and at WORST like mortal enemies to be DESTROYED. it’s all that business that makes me dislike him. and i may be a suspicious and untrusting soul, but i really don’t trust that he’s changed in that way. that said, I’M certainly no one to give advice about moral virtue or from whom to seek it.OCexile28-12-2024
