The World Tour peloton will be back to stage-racing into the final part of the season, as from the 30th of July to the 5th of August the best teams in the world will be riding the Tour de Pologne for a set of races that suit the sprinters and the classics riders.
The seven-day stage race features two opening days which should be fit for the sprinters, with arrivals in Lublin and Zamosc to favour the fast men with little challenge as they'll have the opportunity to take the first lead of the race.
From stage three onward the race changes however, with three stages that have very mixed profiles, all however suited to the classics riders. Stage three into Przemysl will see a hilly finale and a hilltop finish which features gradients of up to 15%, in a final climb that has 1.5Km at 7.7%. Stage four has small climbs spread throughout the entire day, with a combination two ascents - 4.6Km at 5% and 4.8Km at 5.9% - inside the final 40 kilometers which may see attacks, and the punchy finale in Sanok will be equally challenging.

Stage five into Rzeszow will be another hilly one, albeit more suited to breakaways or a reduced bunch sprint as the climbs featured are not overly hard, and provide the opportunity for an open race. Stage six may be the queens stage, with an 11.8Km time-trial in the Zakopane area which will mostly be uphill and will create vital gaps. Stage seven will wrap off the race, with a hilly start but a finale that should be decided between the sprinters into Kraków.
Stage 1: Kielce - Lublin, 218Km
Stage 2: Chelm - Zamosc, 203.9Km
Stage 3: Krasnik - Przemysl, 229.7Km
Stage 4: Lesko - Sanok, 176.8Km
Stage 5: Lancut - Rzeszów, 205Km
Stage 6 (ITT): Szaflary - Wierch Rusinski, 11.8Km
Stage 7: Valsir - Kraków, 175Km

- A champion turning into a sore loser. Or is he on coke again?
UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
- I wonder what would happen if Pogacar attacked on the Cipressa instead of the Poggio in San Remo? Would MvdPoel still be able to follow?Ride197423-12-2024
