Olav Kooij will return to racing at the Tour of Pologne, joining Jonas Vingegaard for the stage race

Olav Kooij and Jonas Vingegaard will meet in the Visma | Lease a Bike colours at the upcoming Tour of Pologne (August 12-18). This was confirmed by the race organisers.

The Polish WorldTour race will be Kooij's return to racing after a rest period following the National Road Championships at the end of June. In Arnhem, the 22-year-old sprinted to a second place behind Dylan Groenewegen.

Kooij is not unfamiliar with the race in Poland, as he'll be making his fourth appearance in a row this year. With two stage victories and two more second places from past editions, the Dutch speedster certainly doesn't mind returning to the race again. Even more so since he'll be accompanied by the second man of this year's Tour de France - Jonas Vingegaard.
