Strade Bianche
Former world champion Michal Kwiatkowski took a second career victory at Strade Bianche for Team Sky's first WorldTour win of the 2017 season. The win was the first in almost a year for the 26-year-old, who made his decisive move with 15km to go.
Kwiatkowski held off the chasers to finish 15 seconds clear of Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) and Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal). Former winner Zdenek Štybar (Quick-Step Floors) was fourth, with Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb) in fifth.
"I was maybe pushing myself to the limit too much to impress everyone last year," Kwiatkowski said.

"I'm not a machine, and sooner or later you pay the bill. I wasn't happy but had great support from the team with my health problems and not finishing races, they always believed in me. I didn't lose my talent, I just had to wait and work hard to get back on the level."
