Is he Swiss? Is he a Liechtensteiner? He's raced for both countries, but what I do know is that he's been putting in some gutsy riders since he became a pro cyclist.

Teams & Riders Stefan Küng thread
- Thread starter CheckMyPecs
- Start date
Swiss born and raised, but he inherited also Liechtenstein pass from his mother (who was, as far as I know, also born in Switzerland, but her mother was Liechtenstein). He is seen as a new Cancellara here, but let's see how that ends up 
Anyway it is pretty entertaining to watch him race.

He's also doing pretty well after having Epstein-Barr and the end of last year http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kng-sidelined-with-epstein-barr-virus/
On his way back after the virus that hit him in winter. I expect a monster effort in the TT and possibly a solo win from a breakaway later in the Giro. What an engine.

He needs to ride a bit more intelligently, though. Yesterday he kept squandering energy when it was already crystal clear he was going to be caught, which might be okay for a Caja Rural rider who just wants camera time, but not for a rider who could win stages later in the race.
I expect him to, at the very least, be able to do Cummings-style victories. Küng for a late Champs-Elysées attack please.
Re: Re:
He was in the break yesterday and spent a lot of energy. None of them has many chances of winning such a stage anyway.Cance > TheRest said:

Küng will have to get away earlier and build up a Nice advantage but I'm not sure thats possible with Trentin there + a couple of Tinkoff riders.

It appears Küng is "liking" tweets (or at least "a" tweet) of people posting doping insinuations of competitors, and then removing the "like".
I'm sure his finger slipped.

He can win Roubaix if he continues this form. And then the whole world will be singing the Stefan Kung (not Küng) song. And it will be glorious.
But yes, very impressive season so far.
Yeah, nice race by SK, huh?
I'm gonna start referring to every rider as "SK"! Well, every rider where it's applicable; I'm not gonna start calling Alaphilippe "SK".
