Team Jumbo-Visma (France) - Press Release: Sepp Kuss has given Team Jumbo-Visma a third stage victory in the Criterium du Dauphiné. The 25-year-old American soloed in Megève to his first victory of the season after having been on the attack all day. For Team Jumbo-Visma it was a nice boost after race leader Primoz Roglic and Steven Kruijswijk had abandoned the race. Roglic crashed hard on Saturday and did not start today. Kruijswijk literally dropped out yesterday with an injured shoulder.

In addition to the three stage victories, the team of Grischa Niermann and Arthur van Dongen also won the team classification and the points classification with Wout van Aert.

For Kuss it is his sixth victory of his career. Last year, the American had his breakthrough with a stage victory in the Vuelta d’Espana, which was ultimately won by Roglic. Kuss clinched Team Jumbo-Visma’s thirteenth victory of 2020.
