At least 1 more year at Jumbo, so more than enough time for them to manipulate him into thinking it's normal behaviour from Vingegaard/Roglic

If Roglic wants to prove a point he should have counter attacked once Ayuso shut down Vingegaard's initial attack on the Tourmalet. He obviously couldn't. Today he tried to prove a point, but Vingegaard calmly was glued to his wheel. Not willing to give Roglic an inch of space.
Of course it's an ego battle between Vingegaard & Roglic. And it might very well be Kuss who's going to lose it.

was talking about leader of the race
and you sound like Roglic and Vingegaard ...we hope Sepp wins but we are attacking him ..such baloney
And its not about pay its about loyalty
Hope Pogacar employs Sepp
Did Roglic dedicate his win to Kuss for his birthday?
Yes, if it is everyman for themselves, then stop saying in interview that i am happy for Sepp to win since you are not happy as you want to win. I dont think that the strongest will win strategy will change people's opinion of the Vuelta( I predict 2-5). It was snuffed out with Remco's challenge. Kuss's win does wonders for PR with JV. A Roglic or Jonas win is bad PR. Give Kuss the win and compensate the other in some other way.There was no reason today not to wait for Sepp. I mean they were sure to get the stage win either way, even if Landa cought on. So just like yesterday they only took time on Kuss for reason whatsoever. Vinge even looked and looked at Kuss. I am not liking this style of racing much.
Maybne Netflix is paying more for Vinge and Rogla to keep attacking Kuss.
Someone is using the Buffalo Wild Wings button for all this craziness.
Huge difference between yesterday's Bejes stage and today's Angliru stage is that yesterday Jonas jumped from a mixed GC group.
Today they were just the 3 TJV boys left and Primoz not exactly jumping, just drilling hard, as the race today was the kind of race riders dropping from behind like apples on an appletree in the fall.
Would IMO have looked awkward Jonas looking behind Sepp suddenly dropped and just stopping.
Today I really only missed Jonas to give the mountain respect, but I don't know if he just couldn't eat up today and if he and Primoz were in the same level of performance.
Vingegaard: “To be honest, I hope Kuss keeps the red one. “I would love for him to win the Vuelta.”
Roglic: “I'm betting on myself to win La Vuelta, but Sepp is wearing red and I hope he wins. However, we will see what happens."

All the other people cheering for Kuss to lose bother me, but not you. I appreciate the commitment to your hatred of Kuss, and the unwavering dedication you have to it. You are my kind of people, even if I don't agree with you...the rest of these clowns are just part time Kuss haters, with situational dedication. You're 24/7. Chapeau!

If someone was continually hating on Remco like you do Sepp, they would get banned. It's getting old.
A 24/7 Kuss hater compared to all the other 7-11 casuals. Respect !
Those quotes make me miss the days of frame pumps into the front spokes...
Those comments by JV leaders are confusing. One one hand they say things like that but on the other hand they attack Kuss. If they stop attacking him from now on then those comments will make some sense.
Then again, in terms of watching it's much better than those 3 arriving together at the finish of every stage - that wouldn't be even a race.

I am a fan of sport so I believe the best rider should win. And I hope that rider is Sepptimus Kuss.
Loyalty. Imagine Eddie Merckx letting someone win a GT because of “loyalty.”
OK, there have been 4 riders not disappointing, one of them Landa.
Wait til you hear about Levi Leipheimer and Simon Gerrans.
I'm talking about general trends of hatred with those two, rather than me specifically. I don't recall anybody apart from a few one-eyed Aussies ever expressing anything but vitriol about Gerrans, and Leipheimer, all I need to say is "2011 Tour de Suisse", one of this forum's biggest instantaneous and communal outpourings of hatred ever seen.Don't forget Jessie Diggins...
Otherwise I'd raise Peter Sagan, who I hated more, and was swimming even more against the tide regarding.
Leipheimer and Gerrans hate is completely reasonable though, but the Kuss hate is very weird given he just does what he gets told, so essentially that hate should get directed towards Jumbo DS' and/or Primoz himself.
No they won't. Also, the majority of people hating other riders (not only Remco) hide behind a facade of neutrality, while Libertine is at least onest
Having just watched the end of the stage this evening, I am absolutely shocked that there is anyone who follows cycling who thinks that the behaviour of Roglic and Vinegaard today - and most importantly by proxy the TJV DS - was acceptable.
TJV clearly have the race, and the top 3 positions in the bag at this point. They have the 3 best climbers in the race and all are a reasonable distance away from their nearest rivals.
To drop their team mate in the red jersey at that point on the stage (i.e. not from a mixed group lower down the mountain) was an absolute disgrace and reflects extremely badly on those involved - Primoz Roglic and his DS being most culpable imo. There was no tactical nuance or uncertainty going on here -
Cycling is a team sport. Kuss sacrifices his own ambitions for stage wins etc every year across multiple grand tours in support of his team leaders - as expected. To rewrite this fundamental principle of cycling - and essentially declare it an individual sport where it is every man for himself as Roglic has done at the end of this stage - is complete nonsense.
Kuss has done what is required of him in the ITT and these mountain stages thus far. Clearly if he gets dropped from a mixed group halfway down the climb noone is going to expect Roglic or Vinge to hold back and ride for him. If that happens then fair enough. But that was not the situation today, and looking at the upcoming stages and Kuss' form that is hugely unlikely to happen.
I have always been a fan of Roglic but he has shown his true colours today imo.
A complete and utter disgrace.

In my opionion the situation changed a lot today:
on the previous stages Roglic has been riding like a great team mate and Vingegaard has been "the bad guy" attacking the man in the red jersey, but today Roglic was "the bad guy" and he fuels it in the interviews afterward. Jonas interview afterward was a joke "I want Sepp to win (that's why I attack him every day)", but what I've seen from Roglics interviews after today are maybe even worse.
