The second stage of the Tour de Pologne will be another for the sprinters, however a more simple day indicated for a regular bunch sprint which shouldn’t see too many difficulties and will see the fastest men have no issue to battle between each other.
It should be a calm day in the peloton, without too many difficulties for the riders to face, in the way for another bunch sprint.
It will be another long day, as is traditional in the Polish race, with over 200 kilometers on the road. The finale will be in Zamosc which will see the fast men come to the front.
The final circuit will be ridden twice, giving the riders the opportunity to go through the finish and take notes. There will be no gradients to take note, and no major technical features. A small roundabout with around 500 meters to go will make for a small fight for positioning, however it should be a standard bunch sprint.
CyclingUpToDate prediction:
**** Olav Kooij
*** Arnaud Démare, Mark Cavendish
