Stefan Küng has once again demonstrated his talent and determination, securing a spectacular victory in the 32.1 km individual time trial during the 18th stage of the Vuelta a España. Starting from El Puerto de Santa María and finishing in Jerez de la Frontera, the Swiss rider covered the course in an impressive time of 35'22", thus delivering Tudor Pro Cycling's second stage victory in this edition of the Spanish race.
From the very first meters, Küng showed he had only one objective in mind: to win. His performance was characterized by a steady and powerful pace, highlighting meticulous preparation and excellent physical condition. This triumph not only marks his second stage victory at the Vuelta, but also underscores the importance of time trials in his palmares.
Küng demonstrated the importance of teamwork, stating: "In the end, what matters is winning. It doesn't matter how wide the margin is. I'm extremely happy to have secured the victory here. Today I stand alone on the podium, but this is a success for the entire team. We have a team dedicated to innovation that works hard with our partners. I also want to thank all the people who got me back on track after my February injury. I really want to thank so many people." He wanted to express his gratitude to everyone who worked behind the scenes, particularly the innovation-focused team that collaborates with Tudor Pro Cycling.
Fabian Cancellara, former champion and now team manager, praised Küng's result: "Today's victory is a huge milestone for the entire team and for Stefan as well. After the injury at the end of February, the plan was to focus on time trials as part of his comeback. This Vuelta represents an enormous boost for us and gives us even more motivation for the rest of the season."
Cancellara spoke about the importance of teamwork, from athletic preparation to the development of the BMC Timemachine Mpc, to medical support. Every aspect is crucial to achieving such results and demonstrates how even an individual event like a time trial is the fruit of great collective effort.
Stefan Küng's victory at the Vuelta a España is not only a recognition of his athletic abilities, but also a reflection of the tireless work of the Tudor Pro Cycling team. With this victory, the team is preparing to face the remaining challenges of the season with renewed determination and optimism.
