Michal Kwiatkowski: Out punching the puncheurs in style

Michal Kwiatkowski on the winners red throne.




Winning in the rainbow jersey is such an amazing feeling. I was really suffering on the last lap.

On the Cauberg, Ben Hermans was the perfect foil to launch Philippe Gilbert but too many riders formed to spoil the BMC party. The finale had plenty of action. Greg VanAvermaet was another weapon launched by BMC and looked good but at the line, the world champion out punched the puncheurs in style!

Action galore: the final kilometers of the 50th Amstel Gold Race...

Shenanigans between Curvers and Reynes...

a car takes on the peloton...

and Caruso and Rosa fall on a sharp corner...
