Sepp Kuss appeared in the maglia roja of Vuelta leader - which will become Vuelta winner after the final stage in Madrid today - while Primož Roglič donned his maglia rosa after his Giro d'Italia win back in May and Jonas Vingegaard was in his maillot jaune from his Tour win in July.

Jumbo Visma has also come up with a special kits for its Vuelta riders for the final stage today (see second video below) that marks the fact it is competing the Grand Tour grand slam today.

While the team faced some tricky days during La Vuelta - with Roglič and Vingegaard dropping Kuss on the Angliru. However, the two big name riders - and team management - appeared to then support Kuss through the remainder of the race to ensure he won.
