Stefan Küng (Groupama-FDJ) won the Swiss road race championship for the first time in his career on a hilly circuit in Märwil on Saturday, October 31. The championships were rescheduled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Küng won the Swiss time trial title for the third time in Belp in July before taking the European title in the time trial in Plouay in August and the bronze medal at the UCI Road World Championship time trial in September.
