Sepp Kuss Hoping to Ride Vuelta a España for Grand Tour Treble After 'Crazy Fast' but 'Enjoyable' Tour De France
Sepp Kuss said he felt strong in France and could return for the Vuelta a España, where Visma lacks a clear leader.
- Tadej Pogacar secured his fifth Tour de France title in Paris on Sunday, matching the record of Eddy Merckx, Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Indurain, and Bernard Hinault. The Slovenian has opened the door to participating in the Vuelta.
- Embarking from Monaco, the Vuelta will travel through four countries across three weeks. A victory would complete the Grand Tour set for Pogacar, a feat achieved by only eight male riders.
- Pogacar remains wary of burnout, which he defined as chronic fatigue rather than momentary sadness on the bike. "I'm aware that this can happen if you push too hard," he explained.
- With the Vuelta set for August 22, the rider said he can decide within two weeks. He has not raced in Spain since 2019, when he announced his Grand Tour arrival as a 20-year-old.
- Enjoying the moment of winning the Tour takes precedence for Pogacar over planning future races. "I just want to enjoy this moment, and come back home and enjoy the small things in life," he said.
