Kuss limits the damage after crash in final kilometres of eighth Vuelta stage

Kuss limits the damage after crash in final kilometres of eighth Vuelta stage

Sepp Kuss finished the eighth stage in the Vuelta a España just over a minute behind stage winner Primoz Roglic. The 29-year-old American got involved in a crash in the peloton on the steep final climb.

The day after Wout van Aert's second stage victory, the peloton was presented with an uphill finish. On paper, stage eight looked like a chance for the escapees, but the classification teams kept the day's breakaway within reach.  

At the foot of the steep final climb to Cazorla, several riders - including Kuss - were held up by a crash. The American then briefly managed to get back to the group of favourites, but after another acceleration by Roglic, he ended up in a chasing group. Kuss eventually crossed the line in 21st place, 1'07’ behind the stage winner.  

“I felt good and we were well positioned as a team for the final climb”, Kuss responded afterwards. “In the beginning of the climb I got held up by the crash, so I had to chase. I still tried to rejoin the group of favourites, but unfortunately that just did not work out.”  

On Sunday, the tough stage between Motril and Granada is scheduled. Three first-category climbs await the riders.
