Another Monday is here, and so is our news from the world of cycling. So, what did you miss?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sepp Kuss wins stage 15<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Tour<\/a> has not gone according to plans for Jumbo-Visma. After they lost Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d,<\/a> they needed to change their tactics and went for stages instead. That worked out very well for Jumbo-Visma, and Sepp Kuss, the 26-year-old American, took another win for the team yesterday. He made it into the 32-rider breakaway and then attacked on the final climb of the day, adding to his stage victories at La Vuelta and Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9. Will he chase the GC one day? It certainly looks like he could.<\/p>\n

Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a> faced many attacks during the stage. However, he finished unshaken. Even though he found himself surrounded by almost entire Ineos Grenadiers squad. Will he make it in yellow to Paris?<\/p>\n

“Today they tried to attack, but I felt good today, unfortunately for them,” Poga\u010dar said after the race. “Today was a really good day to crack me, but I responded well to the heat and I enjoyed the bike today.<\/p>\n

“Today was one of the hardest days. And yesterday was super hard and the Mont Ventoux<\/a> stage was super hard. Those were the scariest stages coming into the Tour. I was not confident in the heat before the Tour but after this week being super hot every day, I feel more comfortable.”<\/p>\n

Will it be easy going for Poga\u010dar all the way to Paris? What do you think?<\/p>\n

\u201dI expected to have to respond to an attack as the Ineos-Grenadiers started to force the pace early, but fortunately I had the legs to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n
