A World champion in his early career years, Kwiatkowski's versatility as a classics specialist, time-trialist, climber and occasional sprinter saw him as one of the most valuable riders in the peloton.

Nevertheless his long stint with the British team has seen him win two editions of Amstel Gold Race, Milano-Sanremo, Strade Bianche, Clasica San Sebastian, E3 Saxo Bank Classic, Tirreno-Adriatico, his home race the Tour de Pologne and several other high level races, making him one of the most successful riders of this generation. Now, at the age of 32, his significant mark in the team has earned him another long-term contract.
Yesterday, he returned to competition at the Tour of Denmark after being forced off the bike due to injuries in a recent crash, and will be eyeing the World championships as an outsider later in the season.
