In the new, 'All-In: The Trilogy' Visma documentary dropping on Amazon Prime on March 16th, it's revealed that a key figure in Roglic's Giro d'Italia victory,
Sepp Kuss remained in the race despite a positive covid test. "I took a positive corona test, but I only had more or less mild symptoms, no fever or anything," recalls the American.
Had it not been for Kuss' efforts on stage 16 atop Monte Bondone where Thomas put 25 seconds into Roglic, that timegap could've been much larger, potentially reversing the 14-second difference in the final classification.
Speaking about the situation on the documentary, sports director
Merijn Zeeman insists no rules were broken by the team. "The infectivity was very low, and Sepp was not affected at all," he explains. "We did isolate him within the team and informed all the authorities about it."
