This week, Sepp Kuss got his 2026 campaign underway at the Tour of Oman, but things took a wrong turn after just two days. The American racer was forced out of the race overnight before Monday's stage 2 due to illness.

The Volta a Catalunya is next on his programme in March, before he assists Visma-Lease a Bike leader Jonas Vingegaard as the Dane aims for the Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double.
