Stage 7 profile

Simon Yates wins the Tour of Poland's final stage.

The race: Here's the report from 2018 Tour of Poland winner Michal Kwiatkowski's Team Sky.

Michal Kwiatkowski was forced to push hard in the closing kilometres of stage seven in a bid to shut down a dangerous late attack from Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott).

Equal to the task, Kwiatkowski dug deep to cross the line sixth in Bukowina Tatrzanska, ensuring he kept hold of the yellow jersey with a winning margin of 15 seconds in his home race.

Victory represented Team Sky’s first overall success in Poland, with Kwiatkowski backed up by a strong performance from his teammates across the seven days.

Ian Stannard and Michal Golas combined well as the team set about controlling an 18-man breakaway on the final day. Lukasz Wisniowski upped the tempo as the team safely negotiated a repeated sector of gravel roads. Salvatore Puccio helped on the day’s tough climbs, and in the closing stages it was Pavel Sivakov and Sergio Henao who held firm to peg the gap to Yates’ dangerous attack.

The Brit at one point rode himself into virtual yellow, but Kwiatkowski was able to do enough to secure a popular victory.

Stage 7 profile:

Thursday, August 9: Stage 6, Zakopane - Bukovina Resort, 129 km

Stage 6 profile

An obviously happy Georg Preidler wins stage six.

The race: Here's the report from GC leader Michal Kwiatkowski's Team Sky.

Twelve categorised climbs and a relentless saw-tooth profile made for a tough day of racing around the town of Bukowina. However Team Sky were equal to the task, riding hard to set up Michal Kwiatkowski, with the Pole eventually edging out third place at the line.

That ensured he secured four precious bonus seconds and pushed his overall yellow jersey advantage out to 16 seconds with one day to go.

After setting the tempo through the day Team Sky were able to regroup in the closing stages, with Salvatore Puccio, Pavel Sivakov and Sergio Henao able to dig deep over the final trio of climbs. Kwiatkowski marked his nearest rival Dylan Teuns (BMC Racing) in the final metres and timed his dash superbly to sneak a podium, and the seconds at the line.

Georg Preidler (Groupama-FDJ) saw his late attack pay off with a stage victory, while Henao was the next Team Sky rider home in 12th spot.

Complete results:

129 kilometers raced at an average speed of 39.486 km/hr

Wednesday, August 8: Stage 5, Kopalnia Soli Wieliczka - Bielsko-Biala, 152 km

Stage 5 profile

Michal Kwiatkowski makes it two stage wins in a row.

The race: Here's the report from winner Michal Kwiatkowski's Team Sky.

Michal Kwiatkowski, resplendent in the race leader’s yellow jersey, launched an audacious long-range sprint with 400 metres to go and fought off the hard charging Dylan Teuns (BMC) and Pascal Ackermann (BOH) to take a brilliant win on day five.

The stage was heading for a traditional bunch kick but, with a slightly uphill finish, Kwiatkowski tried his luck early and none of the sprinters could get back on terms. Ackermann came closest to overhauling him, but faded in the final 100 metres.

Michal Golas, Ian Stannard and Lukasz Wisniowski had done a fine job of setting tempo across the 152 kilometre stage, before Pavel Sivakov and Salvatore Puccio hit the gas inside the final 2km, leading Kwiatkowski into the sprint.

The Pole covered off an opportunistic move at 500 metres to go and then kept going, launching his early sprint - and staying clear. His lead on the GC now stands at 12 seconds over Teuns, with two days to race in his homeland.
Speaking to TeamSky.com after the stage, Kwiatkowski explained his mindset heading into the finale.

He said: “The best form of defence is attack. We stuck to that plan and it was perfect. We didn’t know what the final would be like but when we entered the final circuit I said to the boys on the radio that it’s a sprint I could fight for.

“I had an amazing leadout. Golas started, then Pavel, and Salva was there. All the time I was protected at a high pace and then it was the longest sprint, maybe ever! It was very difficult - I’m more fatigued than yesterday because of the length of that sprint.

“At the end of the day Teuns was on my back and I knew I had to start my sprint earlier than Pascal Ackermann, and that’s how we’ve ended up. Everything worked out.”

Tuesday, August 7: Stage 4, Jaworzno - Szczyrk - 179 km

Stage 4 profile

Michal Kwiatkowski wins the stage and takes over the GC.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Michal Kwiatkowski's Team Sky.

Racing on home roads Michal Kwiatkowski remained in control across the savagely steep final kilometre in Szczyrk, moving to the front of the group inside the final 400 metres before reeling in Dylan Teuns (BMC) and blasting past last year's race winner to take the win and move into the overall lead.

Teammate Sergio Henao came home in ninth to cap a great day for the team, after strong riding from Ian Stannard, Lukasz Wisniowski, Michal Golas, Pavel Sivakov and Salvatore Puccio saw Kwiatkowski and Henao dropped off in the perfect place at the foot of the final climb.

Sivakov and Puccio particularly impressed after riding down the remnants of the day's break on the penultimate climb, before pushing the pace on the tough descent, deterring attacks from behind.

Hitting the climb it was over to Kwiatkowski and the masterful Pole showed his class, refusing to panic when Richard Carapaz (Movistar) built a substantial gap on the early slopes of the final ramp.

It's the Pole's first win at the Tour of Poland and speaking to TeamSky.com afterwards, he said he couldn't have imagined it going any better in front of friends and family.

He said: “Winning here on that stage is really special. My family and Agata [Michal's fiancé] are here, and that was really perfect. Winning in front of the public when people expect you to is just an amazing feeling.

"After the Tour you're never really sure about your condition. Of course I was mentally ready to have a good race but you never actually know.

“The team took responsibility today, chasing for the whole day, and that was a big thing from the boys so full credit to them. I was so happy that I could finish the job in that style."

Was he worried when Carapaz built a sizeable gap?

“It’s a typical scenario," he continued. "When you go from the gun on a gradient like that - you can compare this climb to the Cauberg or the Muur du Huy - you are never really going to go at that speed until the finish.

“I stayed calm until the last 300 metres. I knew some guys had more experience in racing that final, last year especially. Dylan Teuns said in the pre-race press conference that he’s in really good shape and he won this stage and race last year and I was pretty sure that he would be up there."

Kwiatkowski now sits eight seconds clear at the top of the standings, with last year's winner Teuns in second, and 'Kwiato' is relishing the next few days of action.

He added: “I’m looking forward to the next stages - that’s given me a big boost of confidence about where I’m at with my condition. We are expecting some fireworks over the next few days. It’s always close in Poland but this is a nice advantage to have.”

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Alvaro Hodeg's Quick-Step team.

A superb lead-out of Michael Mørkøv catapulted the young Colombian Alvaro Hodeg to a well-deserved victory and the yellow jersey.

Alvaro Hodeg shrugged off the disappointment of the first two days at the Tour de Pologne, where he finished twice runner-up, and backed by a very strong Quick-Step Floors team showed what he's really made of, powering like a locomotive in a frantic dash to the line in Zabrze, after an impeccable lead-out by Danish Champion Michael Mørkøv, who proved again why he is one of the best in the business.

The story of Monday's stage wasn't different than the one of the previous flat legs of the race: four men jumped into the escape, put around three minutes between them and the peloton, who took their time before making the catch on the penultimate of the four laps of the local circuit. Quick-Step Floors played it cool and bided their time, moving to the front with four riders – Davide Martinelli, Fabio Sabatini, Michael Mørkøv and Alvaro Hodeg – only inside the last two kilometers of what was shaping up to be another hectic sprint.

While most of the sprinters crammed on the right side of the road, Mørkøv's class and tactical acumen surfaced, as he put in a huge surge on the left, having Alvaro on his wheel at all times, before leaving the talented Colombian in an ideal position with 150 meters to go.

Sunday, August 5: Stage 2, Tarnowskie Gory - Katowice, 144.3 km

Stage 2 profile

Pascal Ackermann makes it two stage wins in a row.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner and GC leader Pascal Ackermann's Bora-hansgrohe team.

Another finish for the sprinters, todays stage was a great chance for Pascal Ackermann to defend his leader jersey and he did so in fine fashion. Like yesterday, the BORA – hansgrohe train perfectly delivered the chance for Ackerman by controlling the whole day at the front of the peloton. In the chaotic final the German Champion navigated his way to begin his winning sprint and in doing so extends his lead at the Tour de Pologne.

The Stage
The second day of the race saw riders tackling a similarly undulating parcours to the first stage in Kraków, with two categorized climbs over its 156km length, both coming towards the end of the stage, where the route covered a 20km finishing circuit four times. While there was a slight kick up to the finale, the stage has traditionally been earmarked for a sprint, and barring any upsets, it was likely this would be the case today.

The Team Tactics
After yesterday’s impressive win, Pascal Ackermann and the team were more than motivated to defend his leader jersey today. The squad focused to protect their leader until the final kilometres, where the finish ran slightly downhill. 

The Race
Like yesterday, the race saw an early breakaway of five riders. The break group escaped 15km into today’s stage and established a lead of more than three minutes, while BORA – hansgrohe took control over the main field. It took a long time, but on the last lap, the peloton caught the escapees and another bunch sprint was set up. The BORA – hansgrohe squad formed once again for their leader and showed a strong effort. In a hectic finale, Pascal Ackermann sprinted to his second consecutive stage win at the Tour de Pologne extending his lead both the overall and sprint classifications.

From the Finish Line
“Again, my team, especially Cesare, did a stellar job and protect me the whole day. Cesare was amazing, he was the whole race at the front and worked so hard. In the finale, the team brought me perfect into position and I started my sprint and was able to overtake the others on the final metres, I am so happy.” – Pascal Ackermann

“I don’t think we could have done it any better. Everything worked out perfectly, a small group went up the roads but we kept them under control. In the finale, we used the dynamic of the race and closed the gap and were always in a good position. The team was the whole day at the front, especially Cesare pulled hard for his teammate and Pascal finished it off like a real Champion. It is great to see riders like Cesare which grew up in our team and ride now as one of the best.” – Christian Pömer, sports director

Saturday, August 4: Stage 1, Krakow - Krakow, 134 km

Stage 1 profile

Pascal Ackermann takes the first stage.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Pascal Ackermann's Bora-hansgrohe team.

German champion Pascal Ackermann showed his sprinting skills once again and took his fourth WorldTour win as he won the opening stage at the Tour de Pologne. An early breakaway was in front of the race until the final laps as the BORA – hansgrohe train took control over the pace and closed the gap.

The Stage
Today – in its 75th edition – the Tour de Pologne started with a 134km long stage with start and finish in one of Europe´s biggest main squares in Krakow city centre. After 120km of racing, the peloton returned to Krakow for the final circuits. Three 4km long laps awaited the riders before Pascal Ackermann was announced the winner of today´s first stage. With lots of hilly sections including two KOM’s and one intermediate sprint it was most likely a day for a breakaway or sprinters. 

The Team Tactics
The team arrived with Prudential London winner Pascal Ackermann, therefore the squad focused on their fast man. For the GC, BORA – hansgrohe brought several great GC contenders to Poland, among Davide Formolo, who took several podium spots in this year’s Giro d’Italia. He was joined by Emanuel Buchmann, who showed excellent form at the Criterium du Dauphine, as well as Patrick Konrad, seventh at the Giro d’Italia.

The Race
The break of the day has formed as four riders went up the roads. With temperatures expected to exceed 35 degrees, the peloton took it easy and allowed the breakaway an advantage of more than four minutes. BORA – hansgrohe stayed in the peloton and took control over the pace, with only 10km remaining the breakaway was caught and the expected bunch sprint was set up. The BORA - hansgrohe team produced another master class in teamwork, as their Sprinter Pascal Ackerman rewarded their efforts by taking yet another impressive win, his fourth WorldTour victory in this season. Pascal Ackermann also takes home the leaders jersey along with the white jersey for the best sprinter.

From the Finish Line
“The team was just amazing, they pulled the whole day at the front of the main field. As we headed into the final lap I was in a perfect position and just finished their great work. It is my first time here in Poland, and to take the win in the opening stage surrounded by so many incredible fans is just the cherry on the top. Tomorrow will be another flat stage and of course I want to defend my jersey.” – Pascal Ackermann

“What can I say, Pascal is just on fire. The boys did a stellar job to protect him and brought him into a perfect position for the final sprint. And he rewarded the team’s perfect teamwork with another impressive win. I am more than happy with today’s result.” – Steffen Radochla, sports director
