Remco could have gone home after his collapse on the Tourmalet and no one would have criticized him. Instead, pure class all the way to the end in last km of the last stage.
I'm glad he stayed and found another goal. If he had quit and gone home it would have given his doubters more to talk about and Remco wouldn't have learned anything from the experience.
Thumbs up for Sepp, he deserves taking home this red jersey for the great job he has been doing during last years. Cycling is also about respect and class. And what to say about Remco. Almost half of the spectacle of this Vuelta has happened thanks to him, even the spectacular breakaway and victory today on the last stage. What a spectacular rider!!
@@JustAdelaideRacingI think that when he understood he couldn't keep up on the ramps he just decided to give away half an hour to then get free reign in the breakaways. If he gave away five minutes JV wouldn't have let him and winning stages would have been much more difficult for him
It’s a shame it isn’t possible to ride like that and win overall. Pogacar found out in 2022 in the Pyrenees that however good you might feel your resources aren’t limitless. If he hadn’t had to contend with Roglic and Vingegaard being in the same team I think he would have won.
Congratulations, Sepp Kuss! 🇺🇸 As a cycling fan, a CU-Boulder alum, and an American I'm proud of your hard earned racing achievement. That sprint by Groves was impressively long too. He was done before the race was done.
Fantastic coverage of this great race, thank GCN and Carlton for your wonderful commentary as always. A really incredible race this year, so many talented riders now and Sepp being crowned king after such a tough race. Such a worthy and honorable winner. to have the legs to ride three grand tours in a year at this level is quite remarkable. JV123, what a team!
It's been a hell of a race, I'd say even better than the TdF. Man what a win by Sepp Kuss!!! The dude prevailed against all odds. And Team Jumbo Visma, absolute domination. They've done something historic with a different rider taking every tour win. And great job GCN Racing with the coverage! All around it's been awesome. Now comes the long wait until next year lol.
Damn, Jumbo are so good to take first 3 positions! And to achieve this without any doping is phenomenal. The advances in sports science and nutrition are amazing.
That Jumbo-Visma team kit and Sepp's bike is 🔥🔥🔥 Congratulations TEAM Jumbo-Visma. Three are on the podium but it took eight men to win it. Here's to Robert, Dylan, Jan, Wilco and Attila; the engine room of the team. You all made history. 🟡⚫ 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
@@matthew-tx6is why is it different for this stage? Because not only did they win the Vuelta but they made history this year winning all three grand tours with the three riders who also won the podium spots in the Vuelta. The pink stripes are for Primoz's Giro win, the yellow are for Jonas's Tour de France win and the red are for Sepp's Vuelta win.
What an addition of the Vuelta! So happy too see GC Kuss and might I add that Carlton Kerby once again proving to be the best commentator cycling has ever seen 🙏
Congratulations Sepp Kuss and the entire Team Jumbo-Visma on your victory in the Vuelta a Espana. Congratulations on your history forging three Grand Tour wins in one season. Proving you are the best pro-cycling team in the world this season. Congratulations Team Alpecin-Deceuninck, kaden Groves on winning three stages and taking the Green Jersey.
@@elliotoliver8679Are you saying that someone within the team did not contribute? or are you referring to the absence of Nathan van Hooydonck, who the team acknowledged with the wearing of a Tee-Shirt in his honour for the press photograph.
Congrats to all 4 of the jersey winners, they all truly earned it. A shame Remco blew up early and couldn't push JV for the GC, but it may have cost Kuss if he did so I'm not too sad.
I often only watch the last few minutes of the last stage of the Grand Tours but I will check up at intervals if anything is happening. Today I checked in just as Evenapol made his break with about 20 miles to go. The composition of the break was fascinating and it showed just what it takes to stay away from the bunch. The highlight for me was seeing Kaden Groves in there because it deprived the bunch of a strong chasing team and it showed that the guys who win bunch sprints aren’t necessarily just sit in sprinters. Take Mark Cavendish’s national title wins for example and how he had to ride without any team support.
Feels like if Jumbo-Visma continue to dominate next season and it isn't the feel-good Kuss story, a lot more questions will be asked. It's hard to see it not happening to be honest, unless Roglic really starts aging or leaves the team. Vingegaard feels like a given in any tour he enters right now.
You clearly don't understand the testing regime. Querstions are asked literally every single day. Not only that, but the samples are stored, and can be retested at any time in the future, when new tests become available. Look at Olympians who are stripped of their titles years later.
For a sprinter, Kaden has some pretty elite stamina. To even consider trying to keep up with Evenepoel on the flat in a stage you want to win at the finish and is expected to bunch up again.
Groves ahead of Ganna. Exactly the expected result. Oh wait, how did this happen??? Thanks to the strong breakaway guys for giving us dramatic final kilometers!
Congrats Sepp on a well deserved overall victory! And Ganna was pretty impressive again in the sprint. Gaining, but just a little too late. He reminds me of a certain Fabian Cancellara. Not a true sprinter, but so much TT power.
Let us not forget if Sepp had not had a very good TT he'd be in second place. He came in only 11 seconds behind Jonas in the TT. All the criticism that he can't be a GC rider has been blown away
The way Sepp sacrificed himself for the team all season it’s nice to see him get his moment of glory!! The work he put into le tour alone was something to behold!!
What a year of Grand Tours for Kuss 👍😎👊🏻💥 Unreal. I mean, to go from the Giro to the Tour, ans then to winning the Vuelta.... that's something else. Sure, perhaps the rumour mill about his performance(s) may run wild. I want, and prefer, to think he did something very special -- naturally, of course.
Your favourite because of how entertaining the disastrous event-organising was? 😂 Or maybe you have a short memory and forgot the ding dong battles in the other grand tours compared to this boring Jumbo dominance at La Vuelta... 😏
@@brotherfranciz Er...yes and no, La Vuelta isn't as slick as the other 2 tours but man oh man it's a proper bike race, the last editions of both Giro amd esp le tour have bored me silly whereas La Vuelta always surprises...the chaos, maybe, I live in Barcelona and yes the ITT was chaotic (not helped by the only hard day of rain in months) but I saw no sign of disorganisation except for the weather and how quickly night descended (which was very unusual)
GCN' Remco is such a nice guy he's doing lead out for Kaden !' REALITY,' Remco thought he could out sprint sprinters only to get blown away.' Sorry but GCN`s commentary of Remco sounded more like giddy teen age school girls meeting their k-pop stars.
