The Sigma Sports Cafe Ride - Sepp Kuss
Video Overview & Insights
Perhaps the nicest guy in the pro peloton, Sepp Kuss welcomes Matt Stephens to his home in Andorra for a Sigma Sports Café Ride with enough high altitude climbing to really test Matt’s legs and lungs.
I love these films with the riders mostly being themselves. Matt does a great job in bringing that out with Sepp he's always seemed less filtered than other pros and more genuine this come through strongly in this cafe ride.
Known for his poker face in a race situation, the Team Visma Lease a Bike rider was all smiles on his home roads, even when the gradient kicked into double figures. The domestique turned Grand Tour winner is a bonafide people’s champion, always willing to help teammates and in this case; fix Matt’s puncture at the roadside.
A café stop at Hors Catégorie owned by former teammate Robert Gesink was the perfect setting for Sepp to discuss his famous win at Vuelta a Espana 2023, the impact it had on his career, and whether it changed his responsibilities in the team.
What a great interview. Matt, along with the GCN team helped introduce me to road cycling more than a decade ago. So nice to see he’s still a great ambassador for the sport. Hugely impressed with Sepp here. Proud to be his countryman & he’s living proof that we Americans still value class and humility. Wish we had more like him. These gentlemen are both class acts!

They both said that what happened during the Vuelta he won had never before but that’s wrong. It happened with Bernard hinault and LeMond and Lance and Contador.

Everything about both men is admirable. As said by all great ambassadors of the sport. CHAPEAU!
OK, that sincere statement provided we must discuss the gift. Sepp loves giant slabs of meat and rarely eats alone. Noemi will need to be on a shopping trip while that morsel is consumed. 😂

Loved every minute of this video. Sepp, I hope you have taken the time to read through these comments as I have. It just goes to show how much admiration people have for such a genuinely good person on and off the bike you are. Here's to many more years of you being an amazing cyclist.
And Matt, words can't describe how enjoyable you are to watch. I still go back and watch your pro tour bus videos on GCN. Keep up the amazing, enjoyable work you are doing!

"I love that we’ve distilled me to a sausage and some beans." 😂Splendid! Joking aside, so much good vibes and goodwill. Kudos to Matt, Sepp, and the production team!
@jeroncicBotifarra amb mongetes - i Pa amb tomàquet també. Priceless, Seb has become a Catalan (like me)

@landralloyd1567I hate when you make the transitional music volume 485db and then the actual conversational audio requires a doctors stethoscope to hear it.... wtf are you doing editors??
@BadTanLinesincredible watching matt huff and puff and sepp isnt hardly out of breath at all.
@yeagemkYou can tell Matt is silently hoping sepp slows down on that first climb...
@dabrahamturnergood vibes man
@nbaallthewaythe best Kuss
@2025mtbWorldadventuresThat was so entertaining. Matt is so gifted. Sepp is the best, what a wonderful human being.
@hmwelch99Absolutely obsessed with the white car going backwards at 25:27…presume the clip is being played backwards but WHY???
@neilfowler3284Love these cafe ride. They show me why to never get a UC jersey again. Sweat shows up way too much..
@Telleazylooks like a nice guy
@gerryfrancis3350Guys now I am almost 17 years old from Ethiopia I want to be pro cyclist but there is now way to reach this level by peace way
So I decide to enter Europe illegally into France I hope the journey will be peace and I peacely reach Europe one day I will be championship of the world thank you!!❤
I remember watching Sepp racing for Rally in the Tour of Utah and I knew he was going to be something special. He's a beast in the mountains.
@nerigarcia7116Well done Matt, another tour de force. You have a real talent at getting into the psychological aspects of the sport and an uncanny ability to draw some great insights from your interviewees
@q12cr34Still can't get over Robert Gesink owns the cafe up the road from Sepp !
@edwardbibbins4647Sepp didn’t unwrap his trophy because he didn’t win based off merit. He won because he filled a placeholder during an advantageous period of visma victory (Giro,TDF,Vuelta). It was customary.
@sulfurskies9658These are the best videos - there is no close second - just this. I loved it -more please! Cheers
@1TimeRunnerTell me you’re humble without saying you’re humble - wrapped WT trophy in closet
@thecritdadAlways good vibes with sepp
@dmv4554Matt Stephens sounds just like Gordon Ramsey
@mukhamedov_fTruly the best cycling content around. Matt is a treasure
@mistople"Sepp Puss" sent me 😂
@mistopleGreat video my favourite cafe ride yet
@Sebastianslife2017God bless Sepp and his family. Many congratulations. Many more. Thank you Matt. Great video.
@roadglideSepp is pure class, making America proud with each pedal revolution. I was so happy to see Sepp not giving-in to the coffee snobbery by still using his drip coffee maker! Well done!
