Sepp Kuss was second on the Bola del Mundo mountain finish at the Vuelta a España and so the first to congratulate his Visma-Lease a Bike leader and teammate Jonas Vingegaard on his stage victory, and what is now a certain overall victory for the Dane in Madrid on Sunday.
Kuss and Vingegaard hugged, with the Dane saying "thank you Seppy" before they posed for celebratory photographs beyond the finish line. Kuss then joined in the team celebrations with fellow US rider Matteo Jorgenson and admitted he was ready for a celebratory beer.
