He moved to Durango in the 1950s.Дurango is nestled at the foot of the San Juan Mountains, and it was in these mountains where the Kusses spent every summer on raft trips and taking week-long pack trips with their three burros.

SeppвЂ™s great-grandparents immigrated to Leadville, Colorado (elevation 10,151 feet) from Slovenia and Italy in the 1800s for the mining opportunities, and Dolph grew up there.

The Kuss side of the family also has high-mountain blood. He was also the first menвЂ™s ski coach at Fort Lewis College in Durango and helped develop several NCAA champions. Ski Team from 1963-1972 and at two Olympic Winter Games (19). Sabina is a long-time cross-country ski instructor at Durango Nordic and a world masters competitor, and Dolph competed for the national Nordic ski team in the 1950s, then coached the U.S. He was born in Durango, Colorado, and his parents, Dolph and Sabina Kuss, were cross-country skiing with their baby when he was just a couple months old. So who is this young American who has helped RogliДЌ maintain the Tour leaderвЂ™s yellow jersey and might one day wear the yellow jersey himself?

In fact, Kuss might be the best American climber since Andy Hampsten, who in the 1980s helped Greg LeMond win the Tour de France and then won a Grand Tour himself (the 1988 Giro dвЂ™Italia). Kuss has been the consummate teammate for RogliДЌ-his chief lieutenant in key mountain stages. With four stages left in this yearвЂ™s Tour, RogliДЌ sits in first, 57 seconds ahead of Pogacar. RogliДЌ finished second behind Lopez, but crucially, 15 seconds ahead of Pogacar, and Kuss crossed the line in fourth. I couldnвЂ™t stay with Lopez, so I backed off and tried to pace Primoz.вЂќ вЂњAnd then I look back and there was a gap, and Lopez came across. вЂњI was just trying to set a good pace,вЂќ said Kuss, who is racing his first Tour de France. Kuss even led the race for a few minutes, but then dropped back to help his team leader. And after he launched a key attack on a high alpine road above the French town of MГ©ribel today, he helped RogliДЌ get a gap on his nearest rival-Tadej Pogacar, also from Slovenia, who sits in second place overall. They said todayвЂ™s race, with two massive Alpine climbs, was the hardest stage of the 2020 Tour de France.ДЄnd there, with 2 kilometers to go, was an American cyclist at the front of the race, dancing on his pedals up La Col de la LozвЂ™s steep grades, setting tempo for his Jumbo-Visma team leader, Slovenian cyclist PrimoЕѕ RogliДЌ, the man in the TourвЂ™s yellow jersey. $25.00 includes a special edition T-shirt, dinner, and drink at Iron Horse Saloon!Д¬ontact: Alana, Events Manager- 38 ext.Sepp Kuss (number 16) and Primos Roglic (number 11) in the Col de la Loze of the Tour de France on Sept.
