Brandon McNulty wins the 2025 Tour de Pologne in style with storming final stage time trial dominance
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates - XRG's Brandon McNulty has absolutely stormed to the overall GC win at the 2025 Tour de Pologne, finishing his week in Poland with an incredible display in the final stage time trial to overturn his deficit to Victor Langellotti in the general classification and take the Yellow Jersey in style with a stage win.
The quickest of the early starters was EF Education-EasyPost's Max Walker, who set the benchmark of 15:02. The Brit spent some considerable time in the hotseat too. Walker was eventually unseated however, as Huub Artz improved on the best time by 8 seconds with his effort of 14:54. The next time to go even quicker was from the Points Classification leader Ben Turner, with the INEOS Grenadiers man proving himself more than just a stage-winning sprinter.
When Stefan Kung just went slower than Turner, the Brit might have been starting to dream of maybe another win this week. Those hopes were then quickly quashed however, as Lorenzo Milesi blasted into the hotseat with his time of 14:43, 7 seconds quicker than Turner. The Italian was the man to beat as the Top-10 on GC began their final efforts of the week. With all the top 10 separated by less than 30 seconds though, there was more at play than just a potential stage win.
As expected, of the big GC riders, UAE Team Emirates - XRG's Brandon McNulty was quite simply a cut above the rest. McNulty also proved quicker than Milesi, and as a result, the American powered his way not only to the stage win, but as he made some big time gains on the man who started the day in the Yellow Jersey Victor Langellotti, McNulty also more than secured the overall race victory from the INEOS Grenadiers man.

- I get the point totally. We live in the snowflake society where some riders forget they are getting paid to ride and get results. When they have a few issues they try to look outside of the real issue instead of themselves. It odd so many of the team are making no complaints and getting on with their job. If you do not like what you do find another job simples. Tough love as my mum would say.paultryan200207-11-2026
- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
