Seriously...Where Is Sepp Kuss?

 

Has anyone else thought it a bit weird that the Durango Kid has practically disappeared from the peloton? It's almost as if everyone is keeping some secret. He's not talked about at all, good or bad. What's the deal?

I think he's been on house arrest serving a minor doping ban. As a condition of his suspension he has to sit out all the big races for six months but will be allowed to appear in smaller races once a month as long as he sucks.

In case no one has noticed, UAE/RockTheCasbah has been dominating the Giro d'Italia. Four dudes in the top eight on GC. All these cats are going to the Tour with Pogacar... and they are formidable.

Visma p/b Rabobank Scooter Rentals needs to get their act together if Jonas Vingegaard is going to win the TDF this year. Kuss better be doing some Rocky 4 type training in secret or he'll be dead weight in July.

The Woutdemption...That's My Boy!

 The whole cycling world can breathe a sigh of relief because, as it turns out, Wout van Aert is still a badass cyclist. The one man boy band pulled off a classy win at the Giro that required him to dig deep, burn matches, go to the pain cave, and any other cycling cliches that apply. As the old timey Belgians used to say after a win like this..."Good on ya, mate!"
