Polish riders comes back !

[PaPong]

After successes of Polish cyclists in the past like victoires of Szurkowski, Szozda, Piasecki and not fulfilled brilliant talent Joachim Halupczok. After Zenon Jaskula and Zbigniew Spruch who rode in 1990s we saw the top of two young riders: Majka and Kwiatkowski in 2014. What will happen next ?

Ahh, loved that Strade Bianchi win.

Kwiatkowski and Sagan going head to head once more with other riders being non-factor in the last 20km.

Kwiatkowski said that victory Strade Bianche was a something special for him. Flowerpower and Sagan fought with each other in the levels of youth, Sagan just exploded in the races elite earlier

Kasia Niewiadoma.

It would appear that Kasia is rising above her "Unknown" name.

Funny, Niewiadoma in English translation means "Unknown"
but I know what I chose, never mind Kwiatkowski, never mind Majka

What a Slavic smile , look at this:

Yeah, Szmyd really was a top notch climber. He dropped off the hill last 2 seasons though. Wonder if he has one more good seasons in him or is he done for good as a WT rider and should join CCC for example to promote cycling in Poland.

Yay nationalism!

I'm very impressed by our riders successes. In previous decade our riders were domestiques (who occassionally won like Szmyd or Niemiec) and now it's completely different with two young guns: Majka and Kwiatkowski. And their specialities complement each other: one is a very talented climber and the other is a classic specialist (but very versatile with room for improvement in other races). The future looks bright for Poland in cycling.

It's great for cycling in general too. I also hope that Germany can start producing some climbers and GC contenders.

The best women's team on the planet picked a teenage neo-pro to ride the toughest stage race in women's cycling, and she was the last one to get dropped by Emma freaking Pooley on the hardest mountain stage. She's then in the attack moves with no teammates left on the last lap of the World Championships.

That's why I mention Niewiadoma. Girl is a serious talent.

Interstate rivalry adds flavor to sport, for example I am not Belgian, but I love Belgian road cycling and cyclo cross I'll always remember the fox from Flanders -Johan Museeuw and Tom Boonen and Sven Nys and Mario De Clercq . I love Belgian classics on the cobblestones in the rain and the wind. I hope that once in my life I'll be on UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Belgium

Hmm I'll be watching her the results

Jens Voigt was a real racehorse
I watched him closely during warm-up before TTT on the Tour de Pologne in Warsaw he was focused and the ride on rolls pleased him

That's one way to look at it. An alternative point of view would be that it only serves to stimulate annoying fanboyism that is based solely on geographical accidents.

I believe Maja Włoszczowska is worth a mention.
