Tour de France Tour de France 2021, Stage 15: Céret – Andorre-la-Vieille, 191.3 km

[woodburn]

Hand timed gap at that sharp corner. About 24 seconds.

 

[titan31]

Yeah, battle for 2nd is the race to watch now...other than stage wins

Kom will be a good competition on Wednesday and Thursday

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Contenders for podium needs to be careful on this descent...TJV gonna make things dangerous.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Valverde not descending as fast as I expected. Kuss has this.

As well as Sepp not doing badly, I'd also suspect Valverde doesn't want to risk the Olympics on a David Arroyo descent, at least not just for a stage win.

 

[burning]

I think I overrated Valverde's descending skills, looks like Kuss has the stage

 

[benzwire]

Kuss holding his own here. Valverde is not making up ground

 

[saganftw]

if Kuss lives in Andorra then valverde is not getting him

 

[Libertine Seguros]

PMSL Carlton talking about us being "enthralled" by Sepp Kuss. Yup, he's known for bringing the action.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Only an amazing Sepp Kuss between Valverde and a stage win. Why, why, why does Jumbo need to send 3 man up the road today AND Kuss having the only good day of the Tour?

Unlucky

 

[Salvarani]

Kuss seems to have the most left in the legs. Will probably hold on.

 

[BlueRoads]

So Jumbo went for everything today and it all worked out. Well played, I must admit.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Kuss looked good on the descent, I have to say that!

It was Valverde's idiocy to only go up the road on the day which goes to the highest altitude. If he hasn't learnt his own issues with altitude after 19 pro seasons, then there is no helping him.

Yeah, my tactical accumen was not as good as the team's...which is why I'm not a DS...

 

[Salvarani]

Valverde did a great stage.

Kuss just better today.

Doesn't always work out for him but he's certainly not boring.

 

[Anybody_but..]

Great win Sepp! Thank you.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Way to go Kuss!!! He deserves this for all he has sacrificed for the team.

Kuss building a respectable resume despite his image around here.
Finished it off nicely, congrats.

And it's not like we didn't know UAE lacks the manpower, but there aren't numbers to exploit the possibility.
At least Pogačar didn't drop them all today. That's encouraging.

 

[woodburn]

Awesome ride by Kuss. Finally got the effort gauged in breakaway.

Back to best climber in world???

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Doesn't always work out for him but he's certainly not boring.

When let off the leash, sure. When he's given reason not to lead, he's the dullest man in the péloton.

Sepp Kuss can actually end up making the race this time around if he has these legs in the Pyrenees. Can make it super hard on these MTFs for Jonas

 

[Salvarani]

Someone is cranky today.

Just needs to ride Giro to complete set.

sepp just tossed his glasses before the finish, does that count as littering in a no litter zone?

 

[dgodave]

Awesome Sepp!
