  In this note, we introduce a natural analogue of Steinberg's cross-section in
the loop group of an unramified reductive group $\mathbf G$. We show this loop
Steinberg's cross-section provides a simple geometric model for the poset
$B(\mathbf G)$ of Frobenius-twisted conjugacy classes (referred to as Newton
strata) of the loop group. As an application, we confirm a conjecture by Ivanov
on loop Delgine-Lusztig varieties of Coxeter type. This geometric model also
leads to new and direct proofs of several classical results, including the
converse to Mazur's inequality, Chai's length formula on $B(\mathbf G)$, and a
key combinatorial identity in the study affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties with
finite Coxeter parts.
