"I HAD TO WIN HERE" - STEFAN KUNG FINALLY GETS HIMSELF A GRAND TOUR STAGE WIN IN 2024 VUELTA A ESPANA FINALE

After years of close calls and near misses, Stefan Kung has finally secured himself a Grand Tour stage win, ending the 2024 Vuelta a Espana in perfect fashion with a dominant performance against the clock on stage 21 in Madrid.

"I had to win here," admitted the former European time trial champion in his post-stage interview having survived the threat of overall winner Primoz Roglic in the final stage time trial. "I knew I had to be fast and that I had to ride under 27 minutes."

To make this victory even sweeter for the Swiss time trial specialist, Kung has suffered a somewhat disappointing campaign so far in 2024. "I was bungling all summer. Before the Tour de Suisse I got sick during my altitude training. Then I had to give up the Tour due to illness and I was also sick during the Olympic Games," he admits. "I wanted to feel good again during a race and I managed that in the Vuelta. I knew I had to watch my weight after the Tour, because it was a Vuelta with a lot of mountains. Fortunately, that worked out, so I felt good."
