Sepp Kuss is taking part in the Vuelta 2023. A good thing for his team. Because the American is a luxury lieutenant for the Jumbo-Visma.
When Jumbo-Visma wins a Grand Tour, Sep kiss is part of it every time. A sacred charm for the team which will try to win the 3rd and last Grand Tour of its season on the Vuelta following having already taken control of the Giro and the Tour de France.
If we also look at his total number of Grand Tours disputed, Kuss has a 54.5% win rate. He started 11 Grand Tours and his team won six of them.
The American was present for victories in the Vuelta 2019 (Roglic), 2020 (Roglic) and 2021 (Roglic), in the Tour de France 2022 (Vingegaard) and 2023 (Vingegaard) as well as in the Giro of 2023 (Roglic) . His team failed (by little) with him on the Vuelta 2018 and 2022, Giro 2019 and the Tour 2020 and 2021.
What therefore give wings to his team for the Tour of Spain which starts on August 26? And give cold sweats to the other teams, including that of Remco Evenepoel ?
The American is also competing in his fifth consecutive Grand Tour. He may also, in the event of a final victory by Primoz Roglic or Jonas Vingegaard, becoming the first rider to win all three Grand Tours in the same year as a teammate. Did you say precious runner?
