Tadej Pogacar continues to dominate at the 2024 Volta a Catalunya. Behind the runaway leader however, the battle for the podium is tight. One of those well in the mix is Sepp Kuss.
Climbing to a fifth-placed finish on the stage 3 summit finish, the Team Visma | Lease a Bike leader has moved up to 7th overall in the general classification, just 39 seconds of Aleksandr Vlasov and the podium. Notably though, Kuss is now 3:34 down on Pogacar.
Team Visma | Lease a Bike rode hard all day and post-stage, sports director, Frans Maassen was reasonably upbeat about how things stand. "Today was a pretty good day for the team," he says. "Pogacar was by far the best, but behind him a lot of guys are evenly matched."
Therefore, Maassen, Team Visma | Lease a Bike and Kuss are confident in their chances going forward in the race. "That offers possibilities for the coming days. After yesterday's slightly lesser day we can now look up again."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
