Michal Kwiatkowski knows exactly what it takes to get the job done at
Strade Bianche, having done so in 2014 and 2017. His attempts at making it a hat-trick in 2025 though, were sadly ended by a nasty crash, similar to the one that took down eventual race winner
Tadej Pogacar.
Although cameras didn't catch the
INEOS Grenadiers leader's tumble, according to the man himself in a post to his official Instagram story, the incident was, as mentioned, similar to the one that gave the world champion an almighty scare at around 50km to go. "Game over," writes the Pole, accompanied by a picture of what looks to be very sore road rash. "Exactly the same corner and type of crash as Tadej Pogacar. Not the battle I was hoping for."
