Team Sky's Michal Kwiatkowski posts his winning ride at Strade Bianche to Strava (+ video highlights)
Former world champion Michal Kwiatkowski won Strade Bianche on Saturday to provide some good news for Team Sky on a weekend that it was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons - and the Pole has posted his winning ride to Strava.
Kwiatkowski, who was with Omega Pharma-Quick Step when he previously won the race in 2014, the year he claimed the rainbow jersey in Ponferrada, Spain, attacked 15 kilometres from the finish in Siena that takes its name from the sectors of white-gravelled roads on the parcours through Tuscany's Chianti region.
BMC Racing's Greg van Avermaet, who a week earlier had posted his own victorious ride at Classics season opener Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, finished second, 15 seconds behind the winner, with Lotto-Soudal's Tim Wellens a further 2 seconds back in third place.
> Greg van Avermaet uploads Nieuwsblad-winning ride to Strava - and the kudos floods in
Pre-race favourite Peter Sagan of Bora-Hansgrohe, who succeeded Kwaiatkowsk in the rainbow jersey in Richmond, Virginia in 2015 and repeated his success in Doha, Qatar last year, was forced to abandon the race through illness with 70km remaining.
Kwiatkowski wasn't the only winner of a UCI WorldTour race this weekend to post his ride to Strava - FDJ's Arnaud Demare did so after taking the opening stage of Paris-Nice yesterday.

Is banging on a panel or displacing a mirror illegal?
I don't recall Lesley Judd being lashed but perhaps you were watching the continental version.
A few years ago I was visiting a garment factory in Tunisia for my job....
That's just the price that generators get paid. ...
Someone should tell the bike industry that.
Hi Geoff. I'm British, but living in the Netherlands for a good few years. I occasionally order stuff from the UK and have had zero problems so far...
For me it's the lack of secure (well, any) cycle parking. If we cycle to Lidl, we have to go as a pair so one of us can sit with the bikes. But...
OMG! Went camping with son and tried to do most of the transfers early. That worked!
" a "single, brief incident" in which the damage caused to the train was "minor". " Good to see you back
It's so wrong, but in Celeste, so right...
