Sepp Kuss again produced a decisive ride in support of Primož Roglič in the Giro d’Italia mountains, helping his Jumbo-Visma leader to gain time on João Almeida and so move up to second overall and stay within touching distance of Geraint Thomas.
On Tuesday, the American helped Roglič limit his losses after he suffered on the climb to the Monte Bondone finish. On Thursday, Kuss repeatedly paced and protected Roglič on the late and steep Coi climb and up the Val di Zoldo finish so that he could attack with Thomas and distance Almeida.
