Defending Vuelta a Espana champion Sepp Kuss determined to battle on despite first summit finish time loss
Briefly

"It was super tough, the heat made it hard and also the entry to the climb with such a big group meant it was quite nervous. I didn't have the best of feelings, but then I saw I had [only] lost 20, 30 seconds, so I can be happy with that, actually."
"With temperatures soaring to 40C degrees mid-stage, Kuss also pointed to the heat as affecting the whole day's racing, with a very slow build-up then culminating in the high-speed dash to the corner of the steepest segment of the ascent."
"Now 13th overall, Kuss looked to regain momentum deeper into the Vuelta, with stage 9 to Granada over various fearsome ascents in the Sierra Nevada arguably his next best opportunity."
