Roglic & Vingegaard TOYING with Rivals on Javalambre | Vuelta a Espana 2023 Stage 6 

Today's Sepp Kuss award goes to Sepp Kuss (USA). El Buitre del Durango is the number 1 ranked Super Domestiue of all time

Sepp has been the workhorse of Jumbo's GT teams this year. Great to see him get a GT win

Jumbo won with strength and team work. No question Seppie is worth his weight in gold. Worlds best climbing domestique and happy to do it. Team work. No coincidence that Sepp has been on every Jumbo Tour win in this era. He’s the happy warrior!

SOOOO much better than the GCN recap of this stage. I could not understand at all what happened in the race from their highlights. This video makes it so much clearer what was going on!

Sepptember has officially started!

At 100lbs and high altitude, that long pull on the bubbly has definitely got ole Seppy shittered drunk 😂

That moment LR uploads an 8 min video and you just know that stage was good 🤩

The camera directors at the Vuelta are horrible. They're missing all decisive moments and aren't even bothered to go back to those moments (Roglic attack, Kuss attack, Vingegaard joins Roglic).

Lantern Rouge you are the best! Saw two other channels' highlights of this stage and didn't get the story of how the race developed at all. Thanks for nailing it again!

It helps that Jumbo has good riders but it's also clear that they are the best team at understanding how to ride grand tours currently. They always have seem to have people in the right places at the right time.

Remco doing as he did in Suisse! He learned to ride to his power and doesn't fall of a cliff when he isn't the best that day.

What if... Roglic and Vingegaard are actually literally toying around and Kuss is the main GC guy? Or... a full TJV GC podium is about to be made...? Crazy year for TJV.

Love to see Kuss get a stage win.

I just love Kuss. Best climber in the peloton, super hard worker, always positive and might as well grab the red jersey in the next hard mountain stage.

LR, Your narration is simply world class. I don't pretend to know what your channel makes you, but you need to be on Network TV for broadcast of the Grand Tours. Fantastic...

Nicely edited with the inclusion of the photography. Remco had a lot of trouble putting his Jersey on right arm after end of stage....

"They worked Evenepoel over, they worked Ayuso over, and Mas... kind of worked himself over" muahahaha

Love the pre-finish line, fan high fives!!! 6:43 Kuss rocks!

Love the recaps. Keep up the good work.

I was very impressed with Michael Storers pace, ripped that group apart pretty effectively. And he looked so fresh doing it.

Well you will have to forgive us Americans for being a bit giddy tonight. I'm sure many of us will temporarily take leave of our senses and start with the Kuss GC talk again. Let us just celebrate him for what he clearly is- the best mountain domestique of the modern era who has been instrumental in JV's success at the Grand Tours of the past few years.

I watched the race live, followed by your podcast, followed by your watchalong and finally this. I just love you guys’ enthusiasm.

Go Rogla! Slovenian legs of steel!!!!

Surely one of the most popular wins this year - what a stage and what a win from Kuss. I could not contain my excitement at GC Kuss becoming a reality. And GC Soler up at the front, sprinting for bonus seconds and coming 3rd in GC? What a day.

That Kuss guy is pretty popular over here Stateside too!

First. Auto thumbs up. JV smashing it. Kuss - third GT this year. What a rider

Why is it that Sepp Kuss is popular in Spain? Is it because he lives in Andorra? or that he seems to have the warm heartedness of Catalunyian? I'm from the US and was delighted to be there for a few stages of the Volta Catalunya.

Nightmare stage for Remco: hellish breakaway gone, Quick-Step having to chase all day, non-stop skyrocketing tension. And yet he did not crack. I guess it's not over (even though it's going to be very tough for him of course)

As ever, great summary from LR. Sounds like another cracking stage

Ineos totally broke today ! I think Kuss did a little tactical mistake not following the move of the two directly - that cost him some energy to close the gap, even if this was still small. But he could have gained a bit more time without that I think ! Otherwise - Good day for Jumbo - and Evenepol had been controlling his losses in the way we know he can do well ! SO - very interesting it seems to get now for the GC fight - there are still favorites and some dark horses ( Ayuso especially )

awesome break down . Thankyou

Excellent report,

Considering when he got dropped, I don't think this was a total disaster for Remco. Still not great but I thought he was going to over a minute. Long race so we'll see how it progresses but shaping up to be a good one

Good luck dropping Kuss in the mountains, and if you do you probably still got Primoz and Jonas on your wheel, and if Kuss attacks again somewhere your faced with the same problem, good luck!!!!

So awesome to see Sepp finally get a chance to go for a stage win! He's been fantastic in all three grand tours this year. He's one of the most cheerful and hard working blokes in the peloton...a true American badass 🇺🇸

Yeh Baby!!!! 💛 So happy for Sepp 😍

I think another crazy thing is that the jumbo guys looked much calmer after the finish as compared to remco and company

Love to see Kuss get the win. It's going to be great to see how Remco navigates this Vuelta. He's got physical talent in spades. Now it's going to come down to strategy and patience to take on the Jumbo juggernaut.

Cian Uijtdebroeks will surprise everyone this Vuelta. If he didn't fall this stage, I believe he would've ended up higher. If he keeps performing like this, I genuinely think he can end on the podium!!!

Gotta also give it to Van Baarle and Tratnik for pulling the whole time in the breakaway!

The win couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. Congrats!

Kuss tough as a block of tire rubber. damn!

"Un petit Cava pour le petit jeune " très sympa LR😊 and well deserved Seppie🎉

It appears to be a question of efficiency. Trying to win with small gains is going to fall off the cliff with the gauntlet stages 13, 14, 17, and 18. Whoever wins overall could win by 5 minutes or more. Carnage.

Yeah I don’t see how Jumbo Vizma can be beaten in this Vuelta. At this point of the race Remco is still holding his own and all my respect to him, but Jumbo Vizma will just choose two or three mountain stages where they will attack and there is no way anyone will be able to follow. The fact that they basically have a triple threat on GC and two of them are arguably among the three best GC riders of the world is just frightening. Additionally this makes tactics possible for them which other teams couldn’t even dream of and they use them absolutely perfectly virtually every time.

Nicest dude in Cycling! What a killer cyclist! Love him!

For 5 stages Remco was busy gathering Bonus Points to pay his debts. The debt collectors have arrived!

Sepp is gonna win GC along with Egan Bernal. They will finish the vuelta at the same time according to atomic clock precision and will both be awarded the Red Jersey.

Would like to see Csstro get that first road victory. Spoke to him pre-race- what a nice guy.

TJV Dominance!! ❤❤❤ Seppie deserves the big stage win!!!

Feel-good stage of the year! SEPPIEEEEE!! 🍾🇺🇲

7:39 pretty well in the END . . . like, literally?🤭🤭🤭

Haa i was waiting for this

I can understand if jumbo told sepp to ease up to avoid team responsibility these next few days but am puzzled they didn’t tell him how close he was to red so it could be a deliberate decision to push for red or not. Obviously the biggest thing is to do what it takes for the team to win the Vuelta, and if they chose not to take the red, that would be a strategy (not one i would follow, but a strategy. But it appears it was not a deliberate choice. Red a) would have been huge for Sepp, and b) would further legitimized him as a threat to GC, making it even easier to play cards in stages this next week. It was clear he had no idea how close he was to taking red. Kuss also looked the strongest the other day when he did not press for the line. GC Kuss.for a 3-card deck of cards.

The way to watch cycling is 1) Look up results online 2) Watch LR recap video to understand broad strokes of what happened and tactics employed 3) Watch NBC extended highlights to get the full experience.

Great to see sepp get the win. Capable of winning a grand tour himself but spends his whole season giving to others. Great to see him get a stage win. Such a strong rider. Legend.

I believed these two gents are paving GC path for Sepp to honor and appreciate him for the season

Game over for Ineos! Team needs a reconstruction! Thomas finally to old, Bernal lost over 12min! Impressive Tactic once again by Jumbo Visma Sweet victory for Kuss! Remco starting To crumble, bad legs he says! Over 2 weeks left! Mas 🙄 form isn't there. Doubtful it will come.

If it wasn't for Kuss riding his third Grand Tour this year 3 min is quite a gap to close

Cage fight. Awesome.

It’s official. Sepp can definitely be able to captain his own team and challenge. This guy today was sensational even when the team call might not have been in his favour. He still managed. Bravo 👏🏻 !

0:29 Was it Jay Vine's tires that did him in, or how did they come off the wheel??

Une grande cava pour la jumbo?!😂 jesus man Seppie drank half the bottle

I don't think the sprint for bonus cost Remco anything as it was just a couple of seconds of an excessive fatigue. Yesterday I was looking at a stakeholder to make a potential wager though. I thought I could place my bet on Remco, but as I checked last climb's profile, I instantly started thinking about Roglic, Vingegaard or Ayuso as it seemed to be too steep for Remco.

Yes!

The livestream, the podcast and the video. Sleep well LR!👏👏👏

What happend to Vine? Both tyres off rim, strange. Great recap ls alway, thank you!

TJV has it in the bag...i just hope they ride for their leader and give Sepp the glory he deserves

Interesting that Landa is not getting press; he’s got a minute on the gc hopefuls and seems to be flying under radar on the road, too.

As for g, remember he said a week ago that after giro what he did is drink for 2 weeks. Roglic after giro took a few days off then trained for vuelta. Thomas lost vuelta b f it even started. Then, one day b f vuelta start, g says that ‘what I am looking forward to is the race’s end so I can have a few drinks’ No winning way is that way

Great

Was Vine running hookless rims? Both tires were off.

Can we get some GC Sepp or Eagle of Durango LRCP merch?!

Glad to hear from Remco today that he was ill yesterday, hence the 30sec loss. GLTA!

Great stuff as always mate!🎯🎯✨✨✨✨

Romane, I love you!!!!!!!

Almeida doing Almeida things is the best comment ever made 😂😂😂😂

I can't quite shake the feeling that Jonas keeps looking a little lost. Like he catches himself repeatedly trying to keep track of Pogi's wheel only to go Nårh nej 🤣

Roglic double is on! Was worried about him after stage 3 but my man was cooking today, looked a lot stronger than Jonas towards the end

Actual GCKuss let’s go boys

How much longer will Ineos continue to exist with this level of success?

Sep could keep up with GC? For me he can, in TT is not slow and if Vingo and Primoz looking on his back then he can try it

Any idea what kind of problem Mas had when the head of the race was at about 6.5 km from the finish, just at the moment the camera went from the front group to the helicopter view of the peloton? He was near the front of the peloton, than nearly got to a stop, dropped out of the back and then had to catch up and work his way back to the front of the group.

Holy shit. Jumbo are going to sweep the GTs aren’t they? New Sky Train, and it’s very much thanks to Kuss. Only a matter of time till he gets to pull a Geraint and win one of the GTs.

Can we not let Sepp Kuss win now? Damn, he deserves it... didn't he have a couple rest days in the last grand tours he did this year? I mean, I'm sure G is going to come for him (well, I hope), but I wouldn't be upset that one of the best climbers all year won a race. He's been awesome the last couple seasons. Like WvA one day, want to see this guy go for GC. Hope he's doing it in secret with team of super domestiques. Hope he doesn't soft-pedal the remaining TTs.

Remco slowly cooked tastes the best! :)

Remco was smart, if he tried to go with Rogla and Jonas he would be in shit, just like Mas. He worked very well in Managing the loss

hope sepp kuss can win vuelta a espana this year, its time for him to shine

렘코, 뭐 30분짜리 업힐에서 자기 폼이 아주 좋다더니..아유소 한테도 이렇게 발리면...ㅎㅎㅎ 다음 산악 스테이지가 더욱 기대되네요.

My favorite master soloist, Remco Evenepoel 😄

This Vuelta could be total JV domination

How did they let 4 jumbo guys get away in first place

Sepp won the Vuelta here. Two straight Vueltas the winner stamped the Vuelta as theirs on stage 6.

UAE living dangerously without tire inserts

0:30 we see Jay Vine crashed out - didn't see the crash so not exactly sure but what we do see is his back tire completely off the wheel and white crap everywhere. Are we really sure tubeless is the way? - Sincerely, A guy who still rides tubes.

Primož Roglič is the absolute goat

I hope kuss's pay cheque ie a big one this year

We shouldn't write Remco off though. I think he will come back from this even stronger. And I say that as a Roglic fan

GC KUSS!

GC Kuss and Domestique Primoz + Jonas lol
