Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) broke a rib three weeks ago at the Trofeo Laigueglia. The Pole announced this on Twitter. Kwiatkowski, like Andrea Bagioli (Deceuninck - Quick-Step), went down in the final of the one-day race and had to give up. "I mainly have abrasions and hopefully nothing is broken," said the 30-year-old at the time.
At first it seemed that way, after that he completed both the Strade Bianche - where he also did not finish - as well as Tirreno-Adriatico (51st place) and on Saturday Milan-Sanremo, where the 2017 winner at the same time as winner Jasper Stuyven ( Trek - Segafredo) arrived as the last rider in the top group and finished seventeenth.
Another examination on Monday revealed that Kwiatkowski had fractured his ribs at the start of the Italian season. “Since my fall in Laigueglia, it has not been an easy Italian campaign, physically and mentally. Sleep mode is best now, ”he continued.
