The Swiss rider is transferring from Groupama-FDJ. He will not be the only reinforcement for the classics, as Luca Mozzato (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) is also making the move. The Swiss team has also managed to transfer a U23 rider to the WorldTour.

Tudor had been interested in Küng for some time. As a Swiss team, they saw the 31-year-old time trialist as a potential figurehead. “As a Swiss rider, I’ve followed the Tudor project closely,” Küng says on the team's website. “I am genuinely impressed by its mentality and development,” said Stefan who signed a three-year contract. Innovation and R&D are clearly central to the team, and I believe that environment can push me to the next level, especially on the time trial bike.”
In addition to his time trial qualities, the former Groupama-FDJ rider—who rode there for no less than seven seasons—is known as a top performer in the classics. He has already finished third in Paris-Roubaix once, but a victory on the cobbles has so far not materialized for him. That needs to change. “A big Classic is still missing from my palmarès, and that’s something I really want to score.”

Mozzato: "I want to win, but I also want to be a key part of the team’s success"
Mozzato will also be very important in the classics. The Italian surprised everyone last year by finishing second in the Tour of Flanders. “I like the way the Team has grown, not just in structure, but in how they race,” said the 27-year-old sprinter. “This feels like the biggest opportunity of my career to become the best rider I can be. I want to win, but I also want to be a key part of the team’s success.” The Italian also compensates for the departure of Alberto Dainese.
In addition to the two pros, a neo-pro is also joining the team: Robin Donzé is making the switch from the U23 team. “We’re excited to strengthen our roster with added power and depth, and proud to welcome another Devo rider into the pro ranks. It’s a testament to the outstanding work our Development Team continues to do in scouting, coaching, and nurturing young talent. Robin has been part of our program since 2022, and we’re confident he’ll be a valuable asset in supporting our climbers as of next season.”
