Sepp Kuss is set to win the Vuelta a España, the American’s first Grand Tour title, after successfully defending his slim lead
Rider flanked by Vingegaard and Roglic at finish lineSepp Kuss is set to win the 2023, the American’s first Grand Tour title, after successfully defending his slim overall lead in Saturday’s penultimate stage which was won by Wout Poels.
With the Jumbo-Visma team happy to sit back and defend their top three places overall, a 31-man breakaway group on the opening climb led by last year’s Vuelta winner Evenepoel was allowed to stay away and extend its gap. Stage 20 was the longest of this year’s race, a 208-kilometre hilly ride from Manzanares El Real to Guadarrama. While none of the ascents were above category three, the riders did face 10 climbs before the final flat eight kilometres.
