Kwiatkowski confirmed for the Tour de Pologne
After abandoning the Tour de France on stage 17, world champion Michal Kwiatkowski (Etixx-QuickStep) is set to make a swift return to racing by lining up at the Tour de Pologne, which gets underway in Warsaw on August 2.
Kwiatkowski’s participation will mark his first appearance in his home tour since he finished second overall behind Moreno Moser in the 2012 edition of the race.

“For me that race was also a discovery of my potential; I always remember it quite fondly,” said Kwiatkowski, who became Poland’s first professional world champion in Ponferrada last Autumn.
“It will be a special feeling to wear the rainbow and ride across my country. I’ve missed the warmth of the Polish fans, although I must say that I’m seeing more and more Polish fans at international races as well.”
Kwiatkowski is one of five Polish riders from WorldTour teams confirmed for the event, along with his teammate Michal Golas, Przemyslaw Niemiec of Lampre-Merida and Tinkoff-Saxo pair Pawel Poljanski and Maciej Bodnar.
