Blazin’ Saddles: Old hand Michal Kwiatkowski shows the Ineos Grenadiers new generation the way
History repeated itself with another photo finish deciding the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday, but this time Ineos Grenadiers came up trumps with Michal Kwiatkowski awarded the win over Benoit Cosnefroy by a tyre’s width – one year after teammate Tom Pidcock was denied by Wout van Aert by a matter of millimetres. It was Kwiatkowski’s first classics win in over five years and his first success of any kind since that memorable Ineos Grenadiers one-two at La Roche-sur-Foron when the Pole crossed the line arm-in-arm with teammate Richard Carapaz in Stage 18 of the 2020 Tour de France.
