Fucking disrespectful by jonas and roglic.... Lost a lot of respect for them today

Edit: good lord, on his birthday as well..... Fuck my life, i am livid

Edit 2: the question for a long time was "could sepp be a GC rider if he had support?"... He's still in red despite being attacked by his own team over and over. And if sepp loses red, we'll still never answer the question because he still isn't getting any support he deserves as a leader

I’m right there with you. If I were Kuss, I would sign for another team because at JV he will always be just a domestique, apparently. That’s what Jonas and Primos told him today with their actions. They could have worked for him as he has worked for them so so often.

And then Jonas said in an interview that he hoped Kuss would win the Vuelta. Actions speak louder than words, dude!

"he will always be just a domestique" - I mean that is true, and has been for a while. He is clearly not as good as Roglic and Vingegaard. If he wants team leadership then he would have to go elsewhere.

That said, the 'best' rider doesn't always win Grand Tours and he may well still win this race. It would certainly be the best story. If he doesn't win, it will be because he wasn't as strong as the winner. That may be a bit harsh, but very hard to argue that it is 'undeserved'.
