Kung gets revenge on Foss with Chrono des Nations victory
Swꦑiss rider beats new world champion by two seconds as Sobrero completes the podium

Stefan Kung (Groupama-FDJ) won the 2022 Chrono des Nations, getting his revenge on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tobias Foss (Jumbo-Visma) after missing out to the Norwegian at the Wor𓃲ld Championships last month.
Foss was the surprise winner at Worlds in Australia an🦹d debuted his rainbow skinsuit at the🍒 specialist time trial event in France on Sunday.
But he was unable to land his first victory as the time trial world champion, missing out to Kung by a sli🐠m two-second margin.
Matteo Sobr💧ero (BikeExchange-Jayco) rounded out the ⛦podium.
Kung, who was devastated after beating his major rivals at Worlds but seeing Foss - who he admitted he hadn't factore🌱d into the favourites' equation - pip him to the gold medal by three seconds.
The Chrono des Nations does not compare but Kung at least finished his season on a high, winni♛ng the event for the seꦉcond time in a row.
The Swiss rouleur set a time of 53:29 on the largely flat 45.4-kilometre course. Foss had set the fastest time at the mid-race intermediate checkpoint but Kung🐬 finished strongly. The last rider on the road, he sprinted out of the saddle in the home straight as th⛎e clocked ticked in dramatic fashion, crossing the line two seconds to the good.
Sobrero rounded out the podium at 11 seconds, with two-time winner Maꩲrtin Toft Madsen (BHS-PL Belton Bornholm) fourth ahead of Frenchmen Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ) and Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies).
European champion Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-EasyPost) could only manage seventh place ඣat 1:04.
