It's way too early to talk about a confirmed change of spirit inside Ineos Grenadiers in 2025, and Michal Kwiatkowski's victory in the Clásica Jaén was at least partly overshadowed by the concern for teammate Egan Bernal following his bad late crash. But as the 34-year-old Polish racer said, too - being able to triumph alone after a 60-kilometre breakaway and with rivals snapping at his heels all the way to the line, remains a very special moment all the same.
Furthermore, Kwiatkowski said, right now in Ineos Grenadiers - present in numbers throughout the race on the front, and with new teammate Axel Laurance underlining their success with a fifth place at the finish in Jaén - "riders are greedy to win."
