Career

Sepp Kuss started out in mountain bike racing as a junior. Kuss won 2 races at the Collegiate Mountain Bike Nationals in 2014. In 2015, Kuss began to race on the road, where he quickly found his footing. At the end of 2015, Kuss won yet another Collegiate MTB title. Kuss began the 2016 season racing for the amateur Gateway Harley Davidson / Trek team. His first breakout result was a surprise win on a summit finish stage in the Redlands Bicycle Classic. After that, Kuss finished 4th at the Mogollon stage at the Tour of the Gila UCI 2.2 Stage race. Kuss had an excellent showing at Collegiate Road Nationals while racing for the University of Colorado that year. His results earned him a contract with Rally Cycling the following year. At Rally, Kuss had many impressive results that caught the eye of Team LottoNL-Jumbo, where he signed a two year contract for the 2018-2019 seasons.

In August 2018, he was named in the startlist for the 2018 Vuelta a España.[2]
