‘I’m on my level again’ – Stefan Küng targets time trial glory at home Worlds

The dress rehearsal didn’t go entirely to plan, but Stefan Küng wasn’t inclined to panic when he made his way through the mixed zone after last week’s European Championships time trial in Hasselt with a silver medal around his neck.

“When you’ve been European champion twice, you want to win again, but in the end it’s a race against the clock and the clock doesn’t lie,” Küng said after losing out to Italy’s Edoardo Affini. “But sometimes it’s better to be behind in the rehearsal and then have everything for the big one, because Zurich is obviously the big goal.”
