Lance Armstrong: "The best story of the year was Sepp Kuss"

The 2023 season has delivered a lot of spectacle all throughout. From Mathieu van der Poel's great season, Primoz Roglic and Mark Cavendish's Giro d'Italia success, and much more... Lance Armstrong believes the main story of the year was that of Sepp Kuss' Vuelta a Espana victory,

"The best story of the year was Sepp Kuss. For him to be that guy, that teammate extraordinaire teammate for his whole career, and then have this long season and show up at the Tour of Spain and win. If you're not aware there's just a very few people ever who attempt to do three Grand Tours in one season, it's insanity," Armstrong said in a recent episode of 'The Move'.
