Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton Newsletter & Andrew Vontz of the Choose the Hard Way Podcast break down the Jumbo-Visma intrateam drama that has emerged during the final week of the 2023 Vuelta a España, where they are well placed to win the race with Sepp Kuss and sweep the podium with superstar Jonas Vingegaard and Primož Roglič in second and third place overall.

The duo debate the pros and cons of the team's decision to allow their three leaders to battle it out instead of simply consolidating resources behind Kuss after the second rest day, and how the decisions have been fair, and unfair to different members of the team. They also speculate on where these three riders go from here and how the team will manage having three 2023 grand tour winners on the same roster in 2024.
