Sepp Kuss has played down the idea that he will be a co-leader in the Tour de France for Visma-Lease a Bike, saying that although he has GC ambitions, two-time winners and defending champion Jonas Vingegaard remains very much the team’s number one contender.
In an interview in Wielerflits dating from well before the season started, Kuss was quoted as saying: “Strategically speaking, it doesn't hurt to start with two leaders. I think Jonas and I can also work well together. We have similar qualities in the mountains. It is always good for us to have two riders at the top of the rankings.”
