Male Team 09 - 15 Aug
Tour de Pologne
1137 Kilometers 7 Stages
The race will NOT be broadcast this year on Eurosport nor GCN.
There will be 10-6-4″ at the finish of all six road stages, plus 3-2-1″ at the intermediate sprints.
The Tour of Poland gets its regular, seven-day duration back in 2021 -the reduced 2020 summer calendar saw them down to five- and slightly changes its parcours, not so focused this time on the Tatr mountain stages yet always demanding.
The race will start with three stages exceeding 200km: an uphill sprint in Chełm (Monday 9th), a really tough hill-top finish in Przemyśl (Tuesday 10th) and a more conventional ‘volata’ in Rzeszów (Wednesday 11th). After those, riders will get back to Bukovina Resort (Thursday 12th), with its tough slopes at the end – ‘only’ preceded by three categorized ascents, though!
Following another demanding sprint finish in Bielsko-Biała (Friday 13th), the peloton will tackle what is expected to be the really decisive stage: a 19km ITT in Katowice (Saturday 14th), absent in previous years. The final stage in Kraków (Sunday 15th) will be one for the sprinters.
