Sepp Kuss | Stage 15

This jersey was worn during the 15th stage of the Vuelta, a toough stage between closing the second Vuelta week. After three categorised climbs, the dreaded final climb of the Cuitu Negru with some extremely steep sections of more than 20 per cent awaited. In the group of favourites, Kuss made a good impression. In the steep final stretch, the defending champion chose his own pace after accelerations by Primoz Roglic and Enric Mas. Kuss eventually reached the line in eighth place at the top of one of the toughest climbs in this Tour of Spain.
