Thanks!
sepp just tossed his glasses before the finish, does that count as littering in a no litter zone?
Time limit 43'41"
I'm sorry, but your Kuss takes are ridiculous.When let off the leash, sure. When he's given reason not to lead, he's the dullest man in the péloton.
I think that image is largely held by one poster. See above.Kuss building a respectable resume despite his image around here.
Finished it off nicely, congrats.
Yes please, keep him away from Roglič, it will be way better for both audience and riders that way. Sepp will have more freedom, and Addy won't handcuff him to Primož and be so defensive. How is Sepp with bad weather though? Serious question - pretty much every performance I've seen from him has been in the height of summer sun, and he's been absent or dropped on stages like Formigal.Stage wins in both Vuelta and the Tour now.
Giro next time?
Freshness often matters, even in a descent.I think I overrated Valverde's descending skills, looks like Kuss has the stage

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.
Well I have no clue about why he didnt try yesterday, but calling it idiocy is not correct when he was this close afterall.It was Valverde's idiocy to only go up the road on the day which goes to the highest altitude.

Have to also think the TT crash was in the back of his mind too. So close, yet so far but he tried. We need more of this Valverde.Freshness often matters, even in a descent.
He could almost touch the group off Envalira...Guillaume Martin lost 4 minutes and he was in the wind all the time, what a disaster.
The stage he won I seem to remember was decent weather (not sunny but definitely not rainy/cold), not sure if he was strong while helping Roglič (well, as much as Addy's template ever has him do so) on the earlier stages before Primož had to leave the race, but compared to the previous year I don't really recall bad weather at the Dauphiné to the kind we often find at the Giro. The Pipay stage of 2019 is the kind of thing I was thinking of. But even his early season races where he's been most prominent have been things like the UAE Tour, and obviously one of the big things about the Giro is dealing with bad weather. Then again, Froome always was at his best in the heat and he won one.Dont remember the weather exactly in Dauphine last year but wasnt it rainy? Not sunny at least, and he won a stage there.
Yeah but even he knew he'd be lucky not to lose his podium spot today as well as the time he took yesterday.Guillaume Martin lost 4 minutes and he was in the wind all the time, what a disaster.
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
