Have you ever wanted to know what professional cyclist and 2023 Vuelta a Espana winner, Sepp Kuss wears for winter training rides, and how that compares to what regular cyclist like you or I wear? I went behind the scenes with Sepp to ask him exactly that.

We also speak about his coldest day of racing ever, and what accessories he prioritises to stay comfortable, healthy and fit throughout the season. On top of this I give a full run-through of all the cycling kit I wear when the temperature is between 0 degrees and 20 degrees Celsius so you can grab a few tips on how better to dress for winter cycling.

A big thank you to Sepp for his time and willingness to help bring this video to life, and to Attaquer for making sure i'm always warm and dry during the colder months.

This video was filmed in Andorra, where many professional cyclists live and train and where many pro cycling teams like Visma-Lease-a-Bike, Team INEOS-Grenadiers, UAE Team Emirates and others come to run training camps and altitude retreats. Riders like Jack Haig, James Knox, Pavel Sivakov, Sepp Kuss, Robert Gesink, Julian Alaphilippe, Carlos Verona, George Bennett and others use the mountains of Andorra to train, building up for races such as the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and Vuelta a Espana. Sepp Kuss is an American professional cyclist for Visma Lease-A-Bike who has won stages of the Tour de France, Criterium du Dauphine, Vuelta a Espana, and more, and helped current Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard to his two Tour de France overall victories. He has also ridden in support of Primoz Roglic for his 2023 Giro d'Italia overall win and multiple Vuelta a Espana wins over the past few years.
