Summary
Spencer and Johan take a moment to discuss the significance of Jumbo-Visma's Sepp Kuss taking the overall lead at the Vuelta a España on Saturday’s stage 8 to become the first American rider in a decade to lead one of cycling’s three grand tours. They also break down how Kuss sitting so high in the GC helps, and hurts, Jumbo's big-picture plans at this Vuelta, as well as going through his chances of holding onto his substantial lead through the remainder of the race and if he has a realistic shot of winning the overall.
