Sepp Kuss recently announced that he will be unable to participate in the upcoming Vuelta a España due to unforeseen circumstances. In a heartfelt message to his fans, Kuss expressed his disappointment and the factors leading to his decision. A key reason cited was a persistent health issue that has hindered his ability to train and compete at the highest level. This health concern, which Kuss did not specify in detail, has required significant medical attention and rest, making it impossible for him to prepare adequately for the grueling demands of the Vuelta.
Kuss emphasized that this decision was made in consultation with his medical team and the support staff at Jumbo-Visma, who all agreed that his long-term health and career should not be jeopardized by rushing back into competition. He thanked his team for their understanding and support during this challenging time. Additionally, Kuss reassured his fans that he is focused on recovery and is eager to return to racing once he is fully fit.
The American cyclist acknowledged the frustration and disappointment this news might cause among his supporters and the cycling community but emphasized that prioritizing his health is paramount. Kuss’s absence will undoubtedly be felt at the Vuelta, as he has been a key domestique and a potential contender in the mountains. His commitment to returning stronger is clear, and his fans are likely to rally behind him during his recovery.
