He almost lost a kidney after a massive crash on the sixth stage of the 2012 Tour de France.[5]

In September 2014 Team Sky announced that Poels would join them from 1 January 2015.[6] His first win for the team came in the 2015 Tirreno–Adriatico, where he led the team following the withdrawal of Chris Froome. Poels won stage 4 into Castelraimondo with an attack on the final climb and a solo descent to the finish line. He moved into the lead of the race and went on to finish seventh in the overall standings.[7][8] He later finished second overall at the Tour of Britain, winning the toughest mountain stage with an uphill finish on Hartside Fell.

In 2016, Poels won his first one-day race after sprinting to victory from a four-man group in the 2016 Liège–Bastogne–Liège. It was the first monument for Team Sky and for Poels himself.[9][10]
