Küng delivered the kind of clinical ITT that reminds you why specialists exist — not flashy, not dramatic, just a man who understands how to distribute suffering across every kilometer of a course better than anyone else in the field. The Swiss rider's two-second margin over Thornley tells you everything: he didn't win by crushing the course, he won by making no mistakes while others made small ones, which in a time trial is the same as winning by a minute. Thornley's silver — a British rider from a team that doesn't carry Küng's pedigree — is the kind of result that will either define a career or dissolve quietly into the record books, and Almeida's third confirms he remains a rider who can hold himself together against the clock even when the GC pressure is already eating at his legs. GC: [Leader] leads [2nd] by [gap], [3rd] at [gap].
