Michal’s biographyProf. since: 2010 Kwiatek, which means “flower” in Polish, was one of the riders who best embodied the 2013 season for OPQS. His talent and his smile stood out for much of the season, in the most important races. From Tirreno-Adriatico, where he was fourth overall, to the Tour, where he was 11th, by way of the classics, Kwiato demonstrated all his talents as a complete rider who is capable of competing on any terrain. In 2013 Michal also enjoyed the satisfaction of wearing the Polish national champion’s jersey and, for a few days, the white jersey of the best young rider at the Tour de France, where “Flowers Mania” broke out, bringing hundreds of colorful Polish fans into the streets. “The Polish fans are fantastic. I knew it already, but I hadn’t actually seen it for myself life this,” he says. At the end of the season, he still found the motivation to be one of the “Fab Six” who won the world championship TTT. Kwiato is not just a great talent on the bike but also a tech geek. Do you need advice about a new telephone or computer? Kwiato has the answer. “I probably check out the pages of sites dedicated to computers at least once a day to see what’s new, and if I have a new device on my bike I go crazy!” Kwiato has also opened an academy dedicated to cycling in Torun, “so that other children’s dreams can come true like mine have.” |
