Vuelta: Kung takes the time trial

Stefan Kung (Tudor Pro Cycling Team) wins the individual time trial in stage eighteen of the Vuelta.

The first part of the stage was dedicated to the specialists, with several men setting interesting times, such as Thornley, Armirail and a reborn Almeida.

Kung, however, managed to beat all the previously set out riders and not even Van Aert was able to get close to the Swiss.

Among the men in the general classification, Roglic was the brightest: the Slovenian finished 4th on the stage and gained 33" on a great Mas , 52" on Onley, 1'16" on Carapaz and 1'29" on Gall.
