Der Effe also posts on Wielerflits in the exact same (annoying) fashion. Better not bother too much...

Another great argument thrown my way. Do they have schools in Belgium?

You expect people to go into a discussion with you when you start throwing insults for no reason? Okay.

You’re the one walking into an argument with nothing useful to say, not me. I pretty much refuted every word that came out of his mouth.
Lequack said:This is the watts he was pushing on the climbs:
"Impressive figures from Sepp Kuss. For reference, he weighs just over 130 pounds (58kg). So that’s around 6.1 watts/kg for half an hour on stage 5. "
Although some sites list him @ 64kg so I don't know if he really lost 6kg, seems a lot.

No idea, however just being American means you can end up with a name from pretty much anywhere or a totally made up name. There are some interesting names over here.
Sure, Americans get called anything under the Sun, a melting pot nation and all that. But even so, I don’t think I’ve ever known of a Sepp without some Dutch speaking family somewhere.
Ok. I can understand that. It took me until I was in my late 30's to meet someone else with my name let alone the spelling of it. (Uncommon name with an even more uncommon spelling. My mom is big on phonetics.) My name is of German heritage.
About the whole Sepp is a Dutch name thing, in German speaking countries the name Sepp is quite common too however it's mostly used as a nickname for people called Josef.
Weight makes a huge difference when trying to drop rivals on climbs in today’s super-sleek peloton at the WorldTour level. By summer, Kuss hit his ideal race weight of 61 kilograms — about 134 pounds — just in time for his major season goals.
How did he knock the pounds off? Kuss said getting a handle on his weight meant learning to become more professional as well as more disciplined with his diet.

Logic-is-your-friend said:Currently he's second last in Pais Vasco over 36 minutes down... Only Nicolas Sessler is doing worse.
He was also pretty poor in the opening ITT with a steep climb that should suit him.
Anybody know what's up? He also didn't finish Catalunya and Ruta Del Sol wasn't exactly great either.
