The Volta a Catalunya, his first spring rendezvous, fell by the wayside, as did other mountainous races across Europe such as the Tour of Romandie, the Tour of the Alps and potentially any pre-Tour de France tune-ups, such as the Critérium du Dauphiné.As we were going to press, the Tour had not officially been cancelled, but Kuss, like everyone else in the peloton, has to reconcile himself to some externally imposed downtime, for an indefinite period. "While it’s a long way away, everything is leaning towards that. ".Just as this season got going, Kuss’s plans ground to halt. But I also wonder, if it keeps growing like it is, if it’s going to keep that. “It was getting together and just having a great time.”.Asked if he saw talent in young Kuss, Cheeney assumed he would grow up to be good at some sport, given his parents’ athletic pedigrees.Still, Kuss did not look like he was on a path to become Durango’s next cycling legend. "I love to push myself and as long as that’s something I’m really passionate about then the ups and downs are not a problem. Kuss is also a close support runner to his Slovenian teammate Primož Roglic, who won last year’s Vuelta and finished third in the Giro. They know that I’m not a changed person, not a traitor! ".And if, as may happen, he loses the chance to race in the Tour or has to sit out the rest of 2020 and reboot his career for 2021? If he dropped his baby bottle or his stuffed cat, or if his little seat slipped, Hilda would stop.“I don’t know if I’m getting too far-fetched, but being in the mountains, in that scenery and the slow steady rhythm of hiking with burros, in all seriousness, I think that had something to do with the incredible calmness that Sepp has,” said Sabina.When Kuss was old enough to hike alongside the burros, he carried his own pack.“He never complained, and he never asked for anything,” said Sabina, who still marvels at her son’s demeanor.And he liked doing everything—from whitewater kayaking, which he started in first grade, to cross-country skiing to mountain biking to ice hockey. Yesterday, he helped Roglič finish second, and then he crossed the line in sixth place.Then came today’s stage, with its finish atop La Col de la Loz, featuring torturous 24 percent grades. Sepp’s great-grandparents immigrated to Leadville, Colorado (elevation 10,151 feet) from Slovenia and Italy in the 1800s for the mining opportunities, and Dolph grew up there. ".Yet at the same time, he knows he is forging a stellar reputation in WorldTour racing. "It was more like at home, in the high altitude I’m used to. He wasn’t all-in on his engine at an early age.”,“I think everybody came out of the coronavirus break really motivated and fresh,” Kuss told the Durango Herald on the eve of the 2020 Tour de France. Kuss ended up dropping off Pogacar but still finished fourth in the stage.“The fact is every meter on this climb that you can have some help is really valuable,” said Roglič.
So she sent him to ride with Chad Cheeney, co-founder of Durango’s DEVO program. I couldn’t stay with Lopez, so I backed off and tried to pace Primoz.”.Roglič finished second behind Lopez, but crucially, 15 seconds ahead of Pogacar, and Kuss crossed the line in fourth.With four stages left in this year’s Tour, Roglič sits in first, 57 seconds ahead of Pogacar.Kuss has been the consummate teammate for Roglič—his chief lieutenant in key mountain stages. Sepp Kuss, 22, is a senior at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a three-time national collegiate champion. He was also the first men’s ski coach at Fort Lewis College in Durango and helped develop several NCAA champions.The Kuss side of the family also has high-mountain blood. When cross-country ski races would conflict with hockey, Kuss invariably picked hockey.

It was tears that streamed down the faces of his friends and family back home in Durango. They said … Kuss dominated the 2018 Tour of Utah. But you could say much the same of his Colombian rival on Ventoux, and with time trials increasingly tokenistic in Grand Tours, it hasn’t exactly stunted Quintana’s career, especially in 2020.Kuss, now 25, is a resident of Andorra but, as he notes, "like many other American cyclists", spends a lot of time in Girona. A lot of the fans are experienced riders themselves and they know what it is to suffer.

I still ride my mountain bike and drink beers with them. Future Publishing Limited Quay House, The Ambury, It takes tactics, strategy, and teamwork.”,“He’s just so well-rounded,” explained Cheeney.
“He never cared what his peers did.”.Nor was he competitive. It suits me. "For me it was never an objective to be on a US team per se. "But not in a bad way. "That was the stigma in Durango I guess, because it’s such a mountain biking town, but as I got older I got more interested in watching road races and I grew to appreciate it a bit more, even though I’d never done any road races myself.

It’s less tactical, less of a mountain train-style route, where you say, ‘This is the order to ride in - you’re the third-last guy, you’re the second-last guy, etc.’,"If the climbs are steeper and it’s a short stage, then it’s more dynamic, more a matter of who has the legs," he says.
