Sepp Kuss: Wout Van Aert’s stage 7 Vuelta a España win ‘feels like a victory for me’

As Wout van Aert powered across the finish line in Cordoba to claim his second stage in five days at the Vuelta a España, his teammate Sepp Kuss could be seen at the back of the small lead group, too, punching his arm in the sky in celebration.

And while the American said afterwards that Van Aert’s stage 7 victory felt like a triumph to him, his own contribution to his win had not been a small one, either.
