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."
