Stefan Küng absent from Swiss Championships due to a training crash
CyclingFriday, 27 June 2025 at 09:00
Stefan Küng's reputation of the unlucky man of the peloton was once underlined earlier this week. While the Swissman was preparing to defend his time trial title on a 19-kilometer course in Steinmaur, Küng crashed and the consequences of his fall make it impossible for the Groupama - FDJ star to attend both time trial and road race later this weekend.
"After a fall during training yesterday, Stefan Küng will not be able to defend his Swiss time trial title this Thursday. He is also out of Sunday's road race," his team informed in a brief press release without going much into detail.
In the defending champion's absence, the time trial was won by Mauro Schmid ahead of Stefan Bissegger and Yannis Voisard on Thursday.

- Please stop giving Lance Armstrong a platform. Allowing him to gain anything whatsoever from cycling only devalues your own brand's validity.
GarudaBlend11-07-2025 - João Almeida has broken a rib and the UAE team just say he will continue the race. While he may continue, he will be worthless in the mountains and no help to Pogacar.Jakob11-07-2025
- By the time they get to the mountains next week Jonas is going to be potentially cooked. I can't believe how aggressive the main gc guys are on the flatter stages. We have a long way to go but the podium could look the same as last year.awp11-07-2025
- mathieu is such a class guy. he might have a couple more shots at stage wins, which i hope he can take home. i’ve always appreciated to human side of van der poel. yes, he’s insanely gifted, but he genuinely has to SUFFER for a lot of his wins, and he pays the price for that suffering.OCexile11-07-2025
- He's won 2 stages, and a TT - 2nd place podium, in the first week, and attacked on every climb... of a three week race. "Conservative?"RicVan11-07-2025
- Why he always in a bad position? Avoidable

- Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe are also building up Lipowitz and Pellizzari, who would probably share leadership with Evenepoel
Llywelynglyndwr11-07-2025 - I don't watch Pogacar as strong as last year. He is racing in suspiciously conservative mode. I don't know if it's because his shape isn't perfect or because he's decided to race La Vuelta (then he doesn't want to overdo). A shame, I like the crazy pogacar, not this conservative version.
maria2024202411-07-2025 - they didn't pull the peloton, they were stopping the peloton (stopping Visma, that didn't want to let the breakaway go away).maria2024202411-07-2025
