Roglic clearly wants to win, and they pushed Kuss right to the edge today on Angliru. They dropped him in the last couple of kms.
I think Jonas got stuck as he doesn't want to potentially give up heaps of time if Kuss cracks and thankfully Kuss caught a wheel and managed to keep the red jersey.
I know they are competitors, but it would be neat if Kuss could get this one. And, if Roglic keeps pushing, I hope Jonas smashes him - I think he has his legs back.
@gt12 It seems like weird and selfish stuff from Roglic.
I don't think he can win, because Jonas has him well covered and today pretty clearly shows Jonas isn't going to give him time. Roglic may force Jonas to beat Sepp.
Sepp has had several years sacrificing himself to help these guys win big tours - if they take this one off him - and there's no doubt that Jonas could - I reckon Sepp might one day go "You know what - fuck you", when they really need him.
I guess I don't understand the mentality.

An interesting summary. Seems about right.
@Chris-B
Yeah, I'm not sure where Jonas stands, but it feels like they are lacking a little leadership here, they could have three different winners of the three tours. As a team, I'd be pushing that, but maybe they are more worried about losing Roglic than Kuss.

Sepp just turned 29 and Primoz is about to turn 34 - Rog is more valuable right now, but probably not two years down the track.

Will be interesting to see if almost the last line in this interview is true (they want me to win the Vuelta). With the lead as small as it is, they need to lead Sepp, not take seconds off him.

likely leaving cause of the merger between jumbo and quickstep.. will be 4 grandie tour winners on one team. be a few more movements
anyhoo - in more important news closer to home. Youngest took out her age group in the Nat road cycling champs last weekend.
bit of a stressed dad moment - got caught right on the line (her closest to camera) she snuck it by millimeters if the line was 10cm further she would have lost!

@WillieTheWaiter thats awesome!
My sons mates came 1st and 2nd in U14 boys.
Do they get pretty big numbers to that event?

And, Roglic announces that he is leaving TJV.
I wonder whether it was on the cards and that's why they let Sepp win?
Discussion from LT here.

Really? I didn't realise he was a good cyclist.
