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.

only been involved in schools cycling post-covid - my understanding is numbers are still way down.
not easy to promote - winter sport in nz for many stupid reasons that are 'too hard' to change.
training at 5.30am in the middle of winter on auckland roads only attracts the hardiest of souls and parents who love cycling.
90% of nats attendees are from auckland, yet they do it in palmy, timaru next year - which is an absolute logistical nightmare for anyone to get families and equipment to.
