Category: 2.UWT
First Edition: 1928
The first time the Tour de Pologne was raced was in 1928 and since then it has became a stable stage-race which has in the meantime been positioned in the World Tour calendar. It comes in a very busy period of the calendar in early August, but it's a race that always finds strong startlists as it usually features sprinter-friendly routes.
Some riders also like to use it as preparation for the Vuelta a España and the European championships, or look to bring over their form from the Tour de France, making for an interesting mix of riders who find themselves on different periods of their season.
