"You wait for the moment when you can pin on a bib again" - Sepp Kuss eagerly anticipating return to racing this weekend

The 2024 road season is in full flow now with more and more big-name riders beginning their respective campaigns. This weekend, Sepp Kuss enters the fray at the Vuelta Ciclista a la Region de Murcia.
"I'm looking forward to starting the season”, the American, Vuelta a Espana champion says in conversation with the official website of Team Visma | Lease a Bike. "I had a good winter. I was able to train well over the last few months after a short break. After a long time without racing, you wait for the moment when you can pin on a bib again. That moment has come."
In Murcia, Kuss will be joined by the likes of Robert Gesink, Per Strand Hagenes, Mick van Dijke, Julien Vermote, Jan Tratnik and Tosh van der Sande. A more than strong enough team to make an impression in the race believes sports director, Arthur van Dongen.
"It's great that the season is starting again. The Spanish races are great opportunities to get back into the rhythm," says van Dongen. "Some of our classic core riders ride here. They need to start the opening weekend in the best possible shape. These races will certainly help."

- 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. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
