- Vuelta a España 2023 stage 20 highlights. A 208km hilly stage from Manzanares El Real to Guadarrama. The longest stage in this year’s race, an almost cruelly long, climb-filled route with no fewer than 10 categorised ascents. Although none of the climbs are that long, or steep, this stage has the most climbing metres of any at this year’s Vuelta, 4,431m in total. It’s hard to see the riders sitting back on this stage, a last shot to win glory for many.

The Vuelta isn’t just Kuss’s time to shine - it’s Sepp-tember! 😀
I see what you did there😂😅
His Rocky Mountain Highness!
@@chevanomarchen777 😀😀😀
American's in radiant appreciation..
😱
We need a Netflix series on this year’s Vuelta. From the chaos on stage 1&2 with the organisers to Kuss’ stage 6 breakaway win to Roglic and Vingergaard dropping Kuss on Stage 16 to Remco’s amazong come back. Action packed cycling tours this year. Wow
you sound like you eat fried chicken without the skin on
Netflix would make up some stories that would definitely make it even more interesting to someone who doesn't know anything about cycling. I think it would be a successful series
TJV achieved something historical this year. Absolutely outstanding. 3 riders winning 3 grand tours while the winners of the first two complete the podium of the last. And WvAert winning Tour of (sprint) Britain casually as well. What a year 😂🎉
Has this ever been achieved seems historical
Both of these things
The way Wout won Tour of Britain was hilariously brilliant
Very happy for Sepp Kuss! Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊! He deserves it he earned it and he is a true champion!
Jonas and Primoz are absolutely classy gentlemen, giving back to the team that they got.
Yep, they doped and didn’t care. Truly historic on their part.
Thanks GCN, I don't think anyone beats your highlights and comments on all the big stage races! Really appreciate all you do as a team!! 🎉🎉😊😊😊
They did a great job for La Vuelta (not so much for the Tour this year)
Agreed. I very much enjoyed these highlight videos, as I don't have time to watch the race live.
I very, very much wish we had the GCN coverage in the US. Much more depth, Dan is absolutely the best with his dry humor and dead on timing. More of an honest assessment of the race. Bob Roll must have a cue sheet in front of him that reminds him every day to mention 1) Roglic has had crashes, 2) use 'spectacular,' 'incredible,' 'astonishing' 5 times per stage, 3) say 'Christian?' after every comment, etc. When Kuss first was in the jersey they were happy but it was still somewhat unbiased commentary. As the race went on and he held it, they were more enthusiastic but still figured Roglic or Vingegaard would get the win. Then they wholly switched to open bias, lobbying on air for Kuss to win, how Roglic was evil, Vingegaard was a bit less evil (after all, he attacked and gained over 1 minute on Kuss 'in honor of a friend' -- obviously Kuss was not that friend). It was shameless, especially coming from a staunch, almost rapid Lance Armstrong apologist (Roll) and one of Armstrong's team members who was a doper as well (but he was young so . . . it was okay?). Love Sepp Kuss, but the US has not had a clean win in a grand tour since . . . LeMond?
Add to the fact that this was Kuss in his third grand tour this year. How many other riders would have the strength to do this.
Has the there ever been a rider who has achieved this?
Jonas next year to win aĺl 3
not suspicious at all
Even though I always support the brits Kuss is easily one of my favourite riders and so happy to see him win after all that he’s given to the team.
Might as well take the gift
Im Belgian myself and I have to say Kuss is one of the greatest and most respectable riders in the peloton
The fact the Sepp rode all 3 Grand Tours is astounding for the contemporary era. His winning of the Vuelta de España is nothing short of spectacular.
When was the last time a rider COMPLETED all 3 Grand Tours AND won one?
Incredible riding by Kuss. Understandable he was not the strongest rider.
Sometimes sportsmanship supersedes statistics.
I believe the solidarity, the smiles, the camaraderie of Jonas and Primos was authentic (whether there is place for all in one team remains to be seen)
Both those men, but especially Jonas will end their cycling careers as greats of the sport.....however I doubt 1 team winning all three GT's with different riders will ever be repeated...and won by the man who rode ALL 3 and helped the the other 2 win their titles!!!
An enthralling Vuelta in many ways and one that will certainly become part of cycling folklore.
And what´s also impressive, is that he won the last of the three. Not the first, nor the second! Impressive stuff!
You can call it what you like but please understand that not everyone enjoys parades
@@DanielSong39OK
Ummmmmm this is the weirdest outcome
Found this interview with Sepp in Ciclismo Internacional from 3 years ago. Glad it came true!😅
Do you see yourself as a grand tour contender some day?
Eventually I hope to be a Grand Tour contender. Physically, I think I can cope with racing for three weeks and it suits me, but what I need to work on the most is keeping the incredible focus for a whole Grand Tour. As a support rider, you can mentally switch off a bit on days that aren’t as crucial, but going for GC it’s a complete different mentality. That’s something I still have to learn, and it’s not normal for me to be nervous all the time, so I would have to do it in a way where I could be a ‘relaxed’ leader.
Would that be possible in Jumbo?
I think so, at the end of the day, you just need to be the best, right? Also, I would function better going into a race with multiple leaders. There would be a bit less pressure and I could be more free in the race instead of having seven guys looking after me all the time which can be stressful.
There´s a lot of talking about 3 leaders or one. What´s your opinion about it? Remember what happened to Movistar…
I think the main difference is, at least from knowing Steven, Tom, and Primoz, there’s no big egos. Of course they all are ambitious and want to win, but in my opinion, they have a common interest rather than an internal competition and I think that brings out the best of them and the team around them. 👍
congratulatin sepp, thank you jonas roglic for your support
I expect to see red, yellow, pink and Hungarian Dutch champions bike in Madrid tomorrow. What an incredible legend team!!🎉🎉❤🩷💛
Also Hungarian I think?
I Don’t get it ?
@@vince5474Primos Roglic won the Giro Italia, which awards a pink jersey to the winner. Jonas Vingegard won the Tour de France which awards a yellow jersey to the winner. Sepp Kuss won La Vuelta d'Espana which awarda a red jersey to the winner. One of their teammates is the reigning Dutch national time trial champion so wears a red/white/blue jersey in races, and another teammate is the reigning Hungarian national champion so rides in a red/white/green jersey. The team has special edition bikes painted to match these honors, so it is a bit of a statement for the team to ride out on 5 bikes painted to match those achievements in a single season.
@@vince5474 Primoz has a pink bike from the Giro, Jonas hasa yellow one from the tour, Sepp will have a red one for the Vuelta, and then they have two national champions on the team as well with their bikes.
@@MichaelOnines Attila Valter won the Hungarian jersey on both the road and tt race. Dylan van Baarle won the Dutch championship's road race. Jos van Emden won the Dutch time trial, but he´s not in the Vuelta.
So happy for Sepp Kuss. And what a domination by TJV and Remco. Remco is a beast and this Vuelta could have been even more interesting had he not had a bad day in stage 13.
If Remco hadn't lost all that time, he would have never been given free rein to join the breakaways. I think he purposely lost that time because he knew he could not compete with Jumbo and could be free to compete for individual stages.
@@stevenmeyer9674that’s very possible
Remco is a puppy who wouldn't have won anything if he wasn't such a bad GC rider that nobody cared about letting him go.
I think Remco had a conflict with his team director and refused to race on stage 13. He’s still a kid.
I think this drama with TJV has overshadowed how much of a beast RE is.
What a great win by Wout Poels. He jumped and created the group ahead and he knew the finish approach well enough to surprise the others with his winning move. So pleased to see him win a Tour stage, a second Vuelta stage, so next year's Giro...?
Congratulations to Sepp and the whole team! This shows their team spirit and focus on growth of all riders. At Sky, Poels was allowed to ride the classics and win Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but not a grand tour. Kudos to TJV. Not the richest, but the best TEAM.
And the winner is ..... LOYALTY, FRIENDSHIP and RESPECT!!! Thank you very much for the 3 great champions and the rest of the peloton, organisers and staffs for an amazing show in this year's Vuelta.
No. This is disrespectful to the race and Jonas and primoz. 🤮
@@dannyjensen2123😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 go and look womensoccer😊😊😊😊😊😊
These guys finishing like that at the same time is one of the coolest things I've seen in cycling.
Three champions.
Jumbo !!!!
(If it ended up being fight between Jumbo, I would probably have a negative attitude towards this. So, this was the right decision to finish with Sepp in first. If they just farted out, you could have been ugly.. Pimos and Jonas would have been viewed as villains throughout cycling history and now they can be perceived as good guys.)
@@GonzoJohnny yeah that's what happens when there's a ringer team.
When I raceed in Utah for about 8 years there was always the team that had seven of the top 10 in all the races for years and years. There was a second team that seemed to squeak in there and then we had maybe five to 10 teams all chasing them around.
There was a clear cut leader but that kind of rotated from time to time.
To give you an idea of how good the ringer team was, Marty Jameson and Levi Leipheimer were on the number two team.
Always chasing those guys around.
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Way to Go JV. And congratulations to Sepp. You had the world behind you and JV. Thank you to the whole team.
And congratulations to JV to be the first team in history to win all 3 Grand Tours and to top it of doing it with 3 deffrent riders. I actually chocked up to see what transpired.
Can we please get a photograph of Sepp, Jonas, and Primoz in Red, Yellow, and Pink please
they will do
TJV marketing team already have that organised.
Its Burger King cycling, have it your way buddy
Has this ever happened before? A team winning all three grand tours in the same season?
@@twraia Not that I know of and Its impressive.
Foi o vencedor de uma grande volta que mais torcida teve a seu favor. Alem de ser um ciclista brilhante que ajudou decisivamente nas conquistas do Roglic e do Vingegaard, é tambem um cara super simpático e humilde. Mereceu vencer e mereceu muito mais toda a torcida a seu favor.
Genial. Grande SEPP! Your time to bright has come! Congrats!
Merry Christmas, Sepp!
Chapeau Sepp !!
Congratulations, Wout Poels!
That was a 30 sec sprint. Wtf!
Also epic for Kuss to bring home the red jersey to America
Almost too good to be true...
Sepp Kuss is a beast!!! This was more fun to watch than the TdF. Jumbo Visma showing what domination combined with teamwork is all about!
Chapeau Kuss. Well deserved win.
Haha good joke.
Sepp is very strong and tough. The only true competition for the red Jersey was his own teammates, and they are both grand champions! All other team leaders are at least 4 minutes back. This performance from a so-called "Domestique", WOW!
Way to go, for reals, Sepp!
I like that you pointed this out. Everyone is talking about his teammates but forgot that he is still best than everyone else
He is no longer a domestique.
which “true” competition? His teammates were held back.
The last few days were a farce and a massive disrespect to the sports
Absolutely right👍💪he is the true champion of the vuelta this year,deserve the best in the future.
I think you are missing the fact that in earlier stages Sepp didn’t respond to his teammates moves even though he had the legs. Team strategy to distance others. Yeah, JV could have overtaken him in later stages, but only because had allowed for the gap to be reduced before. So Sepp is a rightful champion
A Worthy Champion, indeed
2023
Giro Italia Champion Primoz
Tour de France Champion Jonas
LA Vuelta Espana Champion Sepp
Congratulations Team Jumbo Visma
Even USPS wasn’t stupid enough to have Hincapie win a GT.
Whatever PED JV has, it’s working.
You forgot the asterisk Sepp* for history
@@nayr497 don‘t you have something better to do than posting comments about doping everywhere whilst everyone else is just enjoying this sport? Post some evidence of JV doping or bugger off into your cave please.
@@MeStarB0y21 going 1-2-3 is evidence, bub.
@@nayr497 not at all. Also not the sharpest tool in the shed heh?;)
Some reasons why it is not since you cant produce any yourself but just idiotically keep barking the same sentences:
1) PR and JV have been the strongest GC Riders apart from TP for years it is not surprising that they are better than the other GC-contenders in this race. Sepp has been showing that he can be better than the best for years and got lucky on stage 8. Also a lot of the other Contenders had bad luck or underperformed. Doping can‘t be used for such a long time without big peaks and getting detected.
2) their Watt/Kilo are good but not extraordinarily high this tour.
3)A system for a team to dope would have to be extremely big. Talking Festina/DDR type big. This is not possible nowadays. (If you dont belive me watch some documetaries and ask yourself if this could be done 2023).
4) they get tested multiple times a week during before and after GT got a theory how to evade that?
5) i‘ve been on a very high level in an endurance sport and noone offerd me anything and i never saw anyone take anything or get busted
So 4 good reasons and a personal one & still nothing supporting your conspiracy by yourself…. What are you waiting for? you seemed so sure.
So glad to see Kuss get the chance to be the one supported by a team. He’s dug deep on those many hill stages over many years.
What a great win for Jumbo Visma, they are stronger than Sky was
Congrats to Sepp Kuss and TJV. The most deserving winner, so happy for him!
Bravo Sepp, and what a Jumbo Summer! Kudos for Remco the future is still very bright
They don't care about drama created by media and stupid fans. they are Pros, they are Focused, they are Motivated. Best team in the world, best riders too. Seppy in Red 🛑Jonas and Primoz on the podium, Legendary Grand tour riders guiding their super-domestique for the win, we are witnessing history l'm so happy rn 🎉
Strange how they passed him, leaving him isolated just before the media shitstorm and likely phone calls from their sponsors for making them look like selfish brats.
@@ZwiftyZwifter 🤡
Are you saying that they looked like clowns leaving their long-suffering team-mate in red isolated on the climb. Or that I am a clown for noticing?@@AlanChiou0222
Sepp wasn't gifted this, he deserved this. Congratulations
And the Pope is Jewish!
100%. He's the people's champion. There will always be a few haters but vast majority of fans are excited to see Sepp take the win. The dude deserved it fair and square!
He was gifted this. And you certainly don’t need to be “a hater” to think so. More of a realist.
@@sardendibs Or rather supported to help him win - just as other leading riders are.
@@marksip01234 Exactly. It's been amazing how over the last week a lot of fans have been unable to grasp this concept.
The there legendary rider ….
remembered forever...🎉
Having the TdF and Giro winners as your domestiques.
Very happy for Sepp KUSS
Seeing the smiles in Sepp, Jonas and Primoz was awesome! Wondering if Remco is going to ride Le Tour next year. Hope so! Will TJV have Jonas and Primoz in Le Tour next year? Hope so too!!
Primoz have show that he can’t handle top climber on the high mountain. With the tour GC depend so much on the mountain stage. He have very slim chance unless Jonas or Pogi retired next year.
For one thing Jumbo Visma will not be their sponsor next year. As for Roglic? I think he goes elsewhere.
@@mracer8Wow, his victory on Angliru was what? And who are the top climbers he couldn't stand with?!
Primoz will leave TJV next year
@@stevenmeyer9674 Their contract runs to the end of 2024. So they'll be there next year too.
Wonderful sprint. Congratulations to all for an exciting stage
Parabéns a esse ciclista ,merecida a vitória da volta !!!
Time for pushing pedals fans, time for enjoying the most exciting adventure out there in the wild, La Vuelta was... taking breath away, big loving hug riders, thank you guys, you did a great job indeed ❤
What a story. Sepp helped Primoz and Jonas in winning previous tours, just to receive chance of his life in Vuelta. Outstanding season from TJV and such a great story. I hate domination by one team in sport, but seeing domestique rider to win grand tour was worth it.
Wow, excellent highlight and amazing announcer. Great work GCN on putting the focus on this stage.
TJV will have a special place in the history books of cycling
😂😂😂
Yup, the only team bold enough to dope to all 3 GTs. Even USPS realized they should limit it to Le Tour.
Why are cycling fans suddenly so blind? Lance Armstrong wasn’t that long ago. Oh wait, he never tested positive. I see...
@@nayr497 I may have my doubts but until proven otherwise I feel like I need to believe they are legit or stop watching cycling
Nice to see 🤗
What a thumbnail. All 3 tours won by them. Amazing!!
JV earned all 3 GT, that's one part everyone can agree on
I’d like to call it unbelievable...
So proud of Sepp. Superteam indeed
Congratulations to Seth Kuss, well earned and deserved victory.
beautiful end to this race
big win for LJV ! conquering this year's vuelta podium !
This team (TJV) is the best I’ve ever seen in this beautiful sport
Well done, Kuss!
Well done, at last, Jumbo Visma.
I mean, both JV and PR had a real chance of joining that elite club of people who've won two grand tours in one year. And they didn't. For their team. They nearly did, but in the end, they didn't. We should always remember that they COULD have done it.
It was fair game for a while. After all they did it for the team. I can easily say Primož is genually happy for his friend Sepp. How many times did Sepp pace him, like hundreds. Jonas could won it but like a true captain he just led the ship to the end. Great Vuelta 🎉
And Jonas could've joined the very few who held all three jerseys if he won the vuelta and then the giro next year.
"King Kuss I", that sounds great 👍👍
I’m sure JV and PR aren’t happy how this ended up. But, it’s nice to see how Jumbo came through as a team. Sepp earned this win.
SEPPTEMBER !!!!!!!!!!!!!! GC KUSS
My sweet boy Sepp🥲
Sepp is a great rider. Well deserved ✌️
Two things :
Roglic will be 34 in a few weeks. He was looking for a record-tying 4th Vuelta, and maybe break that record in the next few years. Roglic may have given up his place in cycling history to help Kuss.
Vingegaard was looking for a rare Tour-Vuelta double. If he had done it, many people would be consider him the top cyclist in the world, in front of Pogacar. He gave it up to help Kuss.
Once the top 3 was settled, they should have fought it out. May the best man win!
Agreed, hate to see the winner decided by management. But the American market is too important.
Geraint said it well..
Nobody cares if you won vuelta 3 times
Rumors of Roglic looking to switch teams make more sense now. What is the point of having a super team if you have to yield to your domestiques?
Nope
@@luciustarquiniuspriscus1408his contract is until 2025
Bravo Sepp!
"All's well that ends well!"
Congratulations GC Sepp Kuss
Сепп трудяга ! С победой ! Роглич! Винегар! Товарищи по команде!!! Штаб Висмы лучший ! Лучшие стратеги и лучшие тренера ! С заслуженной победой !!!
🎉🎉🎉 Best Tour this year!!!
I presume you're being ironic. The only challenge to GC was ended by social media having a temper tandrum. Most boring tour ever.
I can't help it, but somehow the picture at 5:06 min reminds me onto Museeuw, Bortolami and Tafi in Roubaix 1996.
3:59 Remco with his daily post stage pout.
Evenepoel is carefully building his reputation as the biggest whiner in cycling.....it's an art he's inheriting from Cavensdish.
Can’t win them all, he should be happy for the winner.
A more humble and decent guy you'll never find than Sepp, I'm delighted for him. I also feel a bit for Primoz, he couldn't have been happy when Jonas decided to race La Vuelta, this might have been #4 for him. I hope he stays with Jumbo, he will be more likely to win more grand tours if he does. If he stays with Jumbo he'll get the best support possible, but maybe no TDF win.
Nice to see loyalty rewarded in the end. Sepp surely deserved it. Every loyal domestique is a potential Winner.
Congrats Kuss and TJV for achieving a hatrick.
A fairy tale finale!
Well done Sep, well deserved.
First year paying attention to the a Vuelta. 100% b/c of Kuss; but dang there was some compelling storylines.
REMCO, 2ND,
ROMAIN, 9.
FÉLICITATIONS ❤❤
now this! is how you end a stage if you re leading the race....a great race and an awe-inspiring season by TJV, when was the last time one team won all 3 Grand Tours? Sky w Wiggins and Froome?
Never!
We are witnessing history
Indeed. Social media deciding a sporting event.
Impressive teamwork by Jumbo-Visma! I'm curious about their future team dynamics. As they say, "Too many cooks spoil the broth."
Wout Poels is like wine.
The older the better.
Hail to TJV and Sepp in Sepptember 😊😊
Gonna finish that bottle of cava on the podium tomorrow.
Whats up with the spoilers lately? I watch these highlights when I cant carch the stage and having the thumbnail be a finish line picture is really dissapointing
I love seeing vingegaard struggle to ride no handed.
Well Deserved GC Kuss 🇺🇸🚴🏼♀️👍💪🏔️🐐
You get a like today because you didn’t spoil the finish with narration too soon.
Looks like the attack dogs came to their team spirit senses and took one for the team
can you just stop. please just stop showing that you dont understand this level of racing. just stop with your hate shit.
you really dont understand all the factors that went into this special situation, and why it is the team and not PR and JV you need to look for if you want to do your hate shit. Stop
GC winner by arrangement 😢, there is no race for most stages
Go Jumbo!
Hopefully next year it will be Pogacar, Ayuso and Almeida vs Kuss, Roglic and Vinegaard..
I told u if remco only develop as a pure sprinter he can....be a monster on a sprint battle
I don't see the big fuss how his teammates were riding the only thing is the day Jonas Vingegaard attacked dunno why Roglic would leave kuss stay with him and help Jonas went for stage victory that's all big congrats sepp kuss great job
Ken Miles at the 24 Hours of Le Mans Race, June 1966
Sepp🎉🎉
SEPP! SEPP! SEPP! The Durango Kid! Congrats!!!!
Has a single team swept the podium in a grand tour before? I remember Contador and Lance getting 1/2 at the Tour, but I can't recall a complete sweep.
No. Nobody wished to admit so directly that their entire squad was doping. But, behold....Jumbo PED...
1966 Vuelta, the team finished with six riders in positions 1-3 and 4-7.
Sepp you deserve it for all the years when you worked for others 👌
Too much Remco love. Jumbo-Vis a 1-2-3. When was the last time a single team dominated one of the big stage races like this?
Nice team job for Jumba V. Excellent Vuelta for Kuss, he deserve to achieve something for his job for his mates. But still i think didnt won the best one
love Sepp
up the wahs
Is someone gonna say “im not aiming for the last sprint” ?
what a beautiful move there, right into the turn where people can’t respond full gas
how is remco so far back in the general cassification after all of this stages in wich he recovered10 min to kuss?
He would every-other-day spend time at the back finishing 10-15mins down (on purpose) to ensure the GC guys he was not a threat
Good qns, he was down 27' 50'' mins in stage 13. He has reduced it to 17' 10'' in stage 20.
He lost 20+ minutes stage 13
Stage-21 day tomorrow
