A trident for Michal Kwiatkowski thanks to Team Sky’s most prosaic advantage – its finances

March 14, 2018 · by Alex · in Stage races

Considering the ongoing furore about his allegedly excessive, possibly ban-earning use of his inhaler and the much larger controversies blighting Team Sky, Chris Froome took the wise decision to be woefully out of form at…

Stage 18: Warren Barguil really is King of the Mountains

July 20, 2017 · by Alex · in Tour de France

The top three riders in this year’s Tour de France refused to be separated by mountains. Technically, Rigoberto Uran finished two seconds behind Romain Bardet and Chris Froome atop the Izoard, but that was just…

Michal Kwiatkowski again surprised to beat Peter Sagan – even though he does it all the time

March 18, 2017 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

Peter Sagan is such a colossal figure in cycling that it’s odd to thing he doesn’t necessarily have more of a claim to greatness than Michal Kwiatkowski. Sagan does wheelies and snarfs Gold Bears like…

Michal Kwiatkowski’s back!

March 4, 2017 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

As in ‘returned’. He hasn’t got ankylosing spondylitis or anything. Michal Kwiatkowski hasn’t had a spectacularly successful time at Team Sky thus far. In 2014, at what was then Omega Pharma-Quick Step, he won Strade…

Peter Sagan is the second-best cyclist on the planet

March 25, 2016 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

Second to anyone. No-one in particular. Think there’s some sort of rota system in operation, to be honest. E3 Harelbeke (the race named after a motorway it doesn’t use – a road which isn’t even…

Michal Kwiatkowski sups Amstel Gold

April 20, 2015 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

I’ve only drunk Amstel Gold once. I was travelling through Greece and stopped at a bar while waiting for a train one afternoon. The owner dissuaded me from buying normal Amstel and made a compelling…

The buoyancy of Michal Kwiatkowski

September 29, 2014 · by Alex · in Classics and day races

It’s always good to know that a win isn’t a fluke and being as the World Championships finished with the same three riders on the podium as in this year’s Liege-Bastogne-Liege (albeit in a different…

Dylan Van Baarle clings on to win the Tour of Britain

September 15, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

The Tour of Britain is not a top flight race and Dylan Van Baarle’s victory would seem to reflect that. But let’s just see how he goes next season. Van Baarle beat some top riders…

Michal Kwiatkowski comes from somewhere

September 10, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

I was going to entitle this ‘Michal Kwiatkowski comes from nowhere’ but then I realised that was completely inaccurate. He came from somewhere to win stage four of the Tour of Britain, I just don’t…

Vincenzo Nibali cares not for gravity

July 14, 2014 · by Alex · in Tour de France

If Richie Porte is ‘flying’ then Vincenzo Nibali’s in orbit, effortlessly circling the earth. Just as it did in 2012, La Planche des Belles Filles brought clarity to proceedings. Searing, searing clarity. What happened? One…
