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'.
There, the American took part in his third Grand Tour of the season, and benefited from an early breakaway to conquer the red jersey. He played a key part for the team's victory in both other races, but in Spain he resisted attacks from both Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard - who then agreed to help Kuss take the win after the mythical Alto de l'Angliru stage.

- Only an accident or sickness can prevent Pogi from winning yellow this year - my opinion.Ride197401-05-2025
- "Remco wasn't angry afterwards, rather disappointedThere wasn't much to be done about Pogacar anyway" These statements show that the team did not care lack o motivationabstractengineer01-05-2025
- The Richard Mille watch on his wrist, worth around 250 Thou dollars, is there by virtue of UAE Team Emirates being a partner of the watch company. MVDP is also is an endorser. I also learned that Mathieu was driving around on a Lamborghini, of which he was also an endorser. When you get paid for endorsing a product, it is more an acknowledgment of your star status, rather than personal taste. Tadej's convo on watches with Geraint is probably shared experience.FredMan01-05-2025
- Yes, but it seems fans of such toys, like SUVs think that status is appreciated by far more people than is the case. I think very few are actually impressed by anyone feeling the need to show status this way, it reveals insecurity more than anything else. At “best” it allows for peer regrouping in the safety of a bland homogenous uncritical fake culture. Then I prefer to help parents in law with financial difficulties ;-)Mistermaumau01-05-2025
- There's nothing like showing off your status with an oversized, overpriced watch that makes your wrist bleed when you ride over the cobbles.
santiagobenites30-04-2025 - Yeah 2 syllables is probably going to put your breathing into the red, keeping conversation to strict yes/no answers and grunts for agreement or acknowledgment is the trick ;-) Kind of disappointing to discover the subject of discussion was an exclusive (I suppose) watch. What is it with guys with leftover cash that they feel a watch will do for them? Haven’t worn one since mobile phones, as outdated as cuff-links, which are actually way more classy than the oversized watch models that became the thing over the last 10-15y, looks as silly as a SUV in a traditional parking space.Mistermaumau30-04-2025
- I could talk about what movie to watch next while riding at 40 watts, but I couldn't even say the word "movie" while at 400.Ride197430-04-2025
- If he wins the Vuelta on fumes then what has he got left for the worlds? I think the obvious decision would be not to do two GTs this year because that's just stupid. Winning the TDF, 3 monuments and the worlds is perfectly sufficient for a season.Ayrton30-04-2025
- I respect El Pistoleros comment but that is just the very basic of the least highly leveled cyclist would put in this perspective “that he must be fatigued when tdf come by July. But come to think of it.. The master tacticians of Team UEA must have definitely thought of this aspect a million times over… I see this as purely Planned. Anyone saying the Jonas or Remco or who ever can challenge him come the TDF bad things can happen in day one. That said, Pogi I believe has dialed this down since after the 2024 Il Lombarida… He was seeing already 2025 as it is now. Jus my thoughtdrkesterdmd30-04-2025
- There's a significant error in the article above, where it mentions that he didn't win Tour of Flanders. It should read Paris-Roubaix.SuperConfexYokoOno30-04-2025
