Dreaded by some, adored by others - the Angliru is such a hard climb it's virtually impossible for anybody in the current Vuelta a España peloton not to have an opinion about it, and for Sepp Kuss, riding the 26% slopes of the Asturian monster ascent, is a moment he always savours.
The Angliru was last visited by the Vuelta a España in 2023, the year Kuss won the race outright. And even if he didn't have his best day on the ascent two summers ago, nonetheless, his experiences that day most likely place the summit in his 'unfinished business' category - perhaps one he could resolve this afternoon.
