Kuss is paid, extremely well, to be a domestique - and he's lucky to be a domestique to the two best GC riders in the world. He could be doing all that work for Landa or Vlasov. The leaders don't 'owe' him anything. They could, perhaps, 'gift' him the race by becoming his domestiques but it would be blatant and it would always be a win that everyone knows he was 'given'. I actually think that is what they should do but then I am a big old softy. Who knows? This situation is unique. It's normally the other way round, the domestique who was better than their leader - LeMond and Hinault, Indurain and Delgado, Froome and Wiggins.
I'm going away tomorrow and so won't know how all this turns out till I get back next Tuesday and binge on catch-ups. My prediction:
1st Landa
2nd Ayyuso
3rd Buitrago
Kuss, Roglic, Vingegaard DNF, stage 21, Interpol warrants issued.
