Stefan Küng takes first win in over a year at Swiss time-trial national championships

Switzerland is a country with plenty quality time-trialists, both historically and currently. Hence there was a good list of riders set out to fight for the time-trial title at the national championships, but Stefan Küng took a dominant win - his first since the 2023 Tour de Suisse.

Groupama - FDJ hence got here an important triumph from one of the riders they hope to have succeed at the Tour de France. This was Küng's sixth title in the discipline, after having won it in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The Swiss rider has now broken a three year dry streak to carry the country's colours again.

Küng was the overwhelming victor on the day, beating Stefan Bissegger by 1:07 minutes in the 30-kilometer course in Aire-la-Ville. Jan Christen completed the podium for UAE Team Emirates, 1:11 minutes back.
