Kuss: “La Vuelta is a race where you can attack a lot”

Sepp Kuss (Team Jumbo-Visma): “We knew the climb would be really hard and La Vuelta is a race where you can attack a lot. It’s very explosive so we tried in the finale with myself. I knew Primoz [Roglič] would have a good chance if he attacked over the top. We tried to make it hard in the group and then just hold a steady pace over the top. He was able to get a really good gap and make it to the finish. It was really exciting. La Vuelta last year was a big breakthrough for me. It gave me so much confidence. I think this is my favourite race of the year. I’m motivated to do well and I love riding with Primoz. We have the red jersey, so that’s definitely priority number one and we’ll see about the polka dots.”
