yes, Kuss is being paid back – quote I found in the Guardian

> “It’s sure nice to be able to pay Sepp back,” the Dane said. “He has done so much for me and Primoz. Saturday is a tough long stage though so we have to be careful.”

I just saw some early details about the 2024 Tour de France. Paris will be hosting the Olympics, so the Tour will start in Italy, and end with a time trial from Monaco to Nice. That could be very interesting.
