The breakaway going for victory today. No fight for the stage among GC guys. Also no fight for top3 among non-JV riders. This is good news for Sepp: JV guys could finish together today.
Reading between the lines of the Plugge and Kuss interviews this morning, I think it's pretty clear that they've decided to keep it like this. Kuss will win the Vuelta, unless he has a complete collapse of course.

Strangely, a lot of people were afraid that they would do this, to simply stop racing. But they didn't. Look at how happy everyone is with that ;)
 
Cool. Has Jessie Diggins or Lizzie Deignan come out to say that they should ride for Sepp too? I'm playing bingo.

(note: it would be HILARIOUS if Lizzie Deignan was to say they should ride for Sepp given she's dedicated her career to being a selfish leader who almost never rides anything unless she gets sole leadership)

Being serious though, Thomas morally pontificating on what other teams should do is hardly a new thing, but I'm presuming he got asked a loaded question there.
Not taking sides o the issue but Gerait Thomas not sidelinig with Kuss would mean that his whole career choice was wrong.

Love this movie.

It was good.

Enjoyed watching Hinault neck a beer after Alpe d'Huez.
