Küng's surgery a success
Stefan Küng has undergone successful surgery after breaking his collarbone and iliac bone in a crash during the time trial at the Swiss national championships earlier this week.
“Stefan underwent surgery today at Kantonsspital St. Gallen under the supervision of Dr. Külling and Dr. Noak. The surgery went very well and the hospital staff, in conjunction with the BMC Racing Team medical team, will continue to monitor Stefan on a daily basis," said BMC's doctor Max Testa in a statement.

"He is expected to recover fully from his injuries in the next two months, during which time we will re-evaluate his progress and make any necessary adjustments.”
The injury lay-off means Küng will miss the Olympic Games in Rio, where he had been in line to ride the team pursuit. It comes as the latest in a line of setbacks since he moved to WorldTour level in 2015, after fracturing a verterbra at the Giro d'Italia last year and coming down with Epstein-Barr Virus at the start of this year.
"I know that I'm in the best possible hands here. I've come back from injury before and I'll come back again," he said.
