The fifth day of the
Tour de Pologne will be a tricky one. The start of
the stage will have three small ascents which may be very favourable for the
formation of a breakaway, and the whole day has a difficult situation where the
sprinters can definitely survive the day’s climbs if they’ve got good form, but
at the same time the GC riders can blow up the race.
There is space for classics-style racing, with several hilltops
throughout the day. The main three will come with 42, 32 and 10 kilometers to
go with 1.2Km at 6.8%, 2.2Km at 5.7% and 2.2Km at 4.2% respectively. It’s an
open day, where the riders will decide the rhythm and the contenders for the
day will depend on that.
