The Polish Michal Kwiatkowski achieved his first victory in one of the three great races on the 18th stage of the Tour de France. The one from Ineos, an expert in one-day events, sneaked into the day’s numerous getaways and was able to eliminate rivals along with his teammate Richard Carapaz, who gave him the victory. “I can’t describe how grateful I am. It was a great day, I will never forget it”Kwiatkowski commented.
Champion of the world and of other great races, the Pole considers this victory as very important. “I have had very good moments in cycling, but this is a new experience, escaped many kilometers with Carapaz, whom I thank”said the Ineos at the end of the day, highlighting the precaution taken. “Hirschi, who was not very willing to cooperate, went to the ground in a descent when perhaps we should not risk it. That’s what we did, be careful”Michal pointed out.
The victory is the first for Ineos on this Tour, a team that has suffered a lot during the race, especially with the injury and abandonment of Egan Bernal. “Hopefully he will recover soon, his abandonment was very sad. He wished us luck and we were looking for the escape and the triumph for several days”Kwiatkowski said. “This has to be celebrated, we will do it tonight. Winning is a relief after many days and attempts, we have to celebrate”, sentenced an euphoric Pole.
