Primoz Roglic at the Giro d’Italia, Jonas Vingegaard at the Tour de France and Sepp Kuss at the Vuelta a España: In each of the three Grand Tours this year, a Jumbo-Visma rider ended up on top of the podium.
A historic success for the Dutch team Jumbo-Visma, which the “Mundo Deportivo” dubbed the “terror of the peloton”.
Add to that the triumph of Kuss, who started the Tour of Spain as a helper, emerged as the winner and gave himself “the greatest gift in the history of cycling” (“Le Parisien”).
The press comments on the historic Vuelta success:
Press reviews from Spain
to Sepp Kuss: “The ‘Eagle of Durango’ has captivated an entire country. The great helper who saved Roglic’s Giro on Monte Bondone and lifted Vingegaard on the Marie Blanque can win major tours. There is his red jersey, which he conquered after a breakaway attempt in Javalambre and which now elevates him to the category of cycling stars. A leader with the soul of a cycling lover who has won the hearts of the fans and the respect of the peloton.”
to Jumbo Visma: “The Dutch team completed the triple crown in style. Giro for Roglic, Tour de France for Vingegaard, La Vuelta for Kuss and an all-yellow podium in Madrid after five stage wins. An achievement for the history of the sport that no one has can ever be wiped out. The question remains about the consequences for the team, especially for Roglic.”
