Because the game proceeds as in the solution, white plays Kc2, etc. A brilliant study, thanks for publishing it.

My endgame sucks; thanks for publishing this study. Black made a terrible mistake. What would have happened if 2...KxRa1?

 Chawii answered your question above :) The end game would proceed the same 2... KxRa1 3. Kc2

 Excellent study. Thank you very much for posting this!
