Stefan Küng "confident" as he opens 2023 campaign: "The objective remains the same: to win a major one-day race and the world time trial championship"

Stefan Kung has been a loyal servant to Groupama-FDJ ever since his arrival in 2019 and as he enters his fifth season with the team, Kung wants to give back.

"I did not come into the team thinking that I was going to impose myself. That just comes through the performances," Kung tells the official team website. "I’m starting my fifth year with the team, and I think we’ve improved a lot together in the first four. It’s a very good sign and it’s nice when we can move forward and work on great projects together."

For 2023, Kung has big plans to repay the continued faith shown in him by the team. "I feel like I’m part of this team. We’re all part of the same team, we’re all trying to move forward together, and that’s what’s exciting," he says. "If I just manage to be one place higher in each race, that would already be quite good. The objective remains the same: to win a major one-day race and the world time trial championship. It may seem dull to say again the same goals every year, but since I’ve been so close, it would be silly to change goals now."
