Stage 5 map & profile

Davide Ballerini wins the final stage while his teammate Remco Evenepoel is the final GC leader.

Weather at the finish city of Krakow at 1:30 PM, local time: 86F, partly cloudy, with the wind from the East at 6 mph. There is a 5% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from final winner Remco Evenepoel's Deceuninck-Quick step team.

Remco Evenepoel’s stunning year continued this week, as the Deceuninck – Quick-Step rider claimed his first triumph in a World Tour stage race and extended his winning streak, which now includes overall victories at the Vuelta a San Juan, Volta ao Algarve, Vuelta a Burgos and the Tour de Pologne – all added to his palmares in the last seven months.

His latest win was forged on the penultimate stage of the race, when Evenepoel rode away from the rest of the peloton with more than 50 kilometers to go and put nearly two minutes into his chasers, a success that propelled him at the top of the general classification ahead of the final day between Zakopane and Krakow. The stage had a hilly first section, followed by a flattish part before three local laps in the city, where the sprinters’ teams took over the reins from Deceuninck – Quick-Step, who up until then made sure of reeling in the escapees.

Third a few days ago, Davide Ballerini showed that the result he got in Zabrze was no fluck, masterfully surfed the wheels and coming from behind at a ferocious speed, beating Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe) and Alberto Dainese (Sunweb) en route to a maiden success at World Tour level. By doing this, the 25-year-old from Cantù became the tenth different Deceuninck – Quick-Step rider to win a race this season, helping the Wolfpack cement its position at the head of the UCI World Team Classification.

“The podium I got in Zabrze gave me a lot of confidence for today. The sprint was very fast, thinking all the time of Fabio motivated us and we remained focused as we tried to rack up some more victories for him. I felt good today, I waited for the right time to go and I just sprinted with 100 meters to go. It’s the perfect way to bring to a conclusion what’s been a very emotional week for us. I’m happy with my first World Tour win, but even happier with the group I saw here, this big family called Deceuninck – Quick-Step, who stuck together in the difficult moments we faced”, Davide Ballerini explained after the podium ceremony.

At just 20 years and 197 days of age, Remco Evenepoel became the youngest rider to conquer the Tour de Pologne since the race was made a fixture on the World Tour calendar, in 2005, a victory which augurs well ahead of his Monument debut at Il Lombardia. His victory was the team’s 23rd since the start of the year.

“It’s an amazing way to end what started as a very hard week for us. Three stage wins and the general classification is incredible, but the best result is that Fabio is recovering. From the moment the news came from the hospital about his condition, we received a big boost and gave absolutely everything for him. Knowing how he fought there gave us a lot of strength”, said Remco, the most successful rider of the season so far, with nine victories to his name. “Our team dominated the race and it’s nice to leave from Poland, which I really enjoyed, with so many victories. It’s the morale-boost I needed for Il Lombardia.”

Saturday, August 8: Stage 4, Bukovina Resort - Bukowina Tatrzanska, 173 km

Stage 4 map & profile

Remco Evenepoel takes a brilliant solo win. He is holding up the number of his bady injured teammate Fabio Jakobsen. Photo: Luc Claessen

Weather at the finish at Bukowina Tatrzanska at 2:00 PM, local time: 27C (80F), Fair, with the wind from the Northeast at 10 km/hr (6 mph). There is a 5% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the summary from winner Remco Evenepoel's Deceuninck-Quick Step team.

Remco Evenepoel was in a league of his own Saturday afternoon, launching an astonishing long-range attack at the Tour de Pologne queen stage and ruthlessly blowing the race apart, before crossing the finish line while holding up the race number of Fabio Jakobsen, who sustained several serious injuries on the opening day of the event.

A course that gave little respite, featuring a succession of climbs stacked between Bukovina Resort and Bukowina Tatrzanska, promised a real showdown between the overall contenders, who were separated by just a few seconds at the start of the 152.9km stage. In the past, the winner emerged on the final ascent, but Evenepoel had other plans this time and stormed away with 51 kilometers remaining, which proved to be the key move of the stage.

What were 20 seconds after just two kilometers nudged out to a full minute with 40 kilometers to go, and despite a series of attacks from behind and a concerted effort of several teams, that was the last time the yellow jersey group saw the young Belgian until the finish. In full time trial mode and extremely focused, Evenepoel continued to increase his gap to almost two minutes, easing up only with 200 meters to go, when he held aloft the number 75, the dossard of Fabio Jakobsen at the Tour de Pologne, in a touching tribute he brought to his teammate.

“I wanted to give everything today for Fabio! After stage 1, we all had some pretty tough moments, but stayed together and I think the whole world saw today just how strong this team is. The good news we received yesterday about Fabio acted as a big morale-boost and for that reason I wanted to do something today. That’s why in the morning, before the start, I asked for his race number and the moment I had it in my hands I immediately felt something special. It wasn’t easy and I suffered, but it doesn’t compare to what Fabio’s enduring these days. This gave me the energy to carry on and never look back.”

Overcome with emotion at the end of this hard day which landed the yellow jersey on his shoulders, Remco talked also of his strategy for the queen stage of the Tour de Pologne: “The plan was to attack, not too early, but feeling that everybody was on their limit I just went with 50 kilometers to go. Up until then, the guys did a great job for me, protected me from the start of the day, and I wanted to repay them for that. When the info came from the car that I had a small gap over the chasers and that nobody could follow, it gave me even more confidence, so I just kept a high pace, without going over my limit, all the way to the end. I’m happy with this win and with having the yellow jersey with just one day to go.”

Weather at the finish city of Bielsko Biala at 1:30 PM, local time: 28C (83F), sunny, with the wind from the Northeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is only a 5% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the report from winner Richard Carapaz's Team INEOS:

Richard Carapaz took his first win for Team INEOS in style after launching a long-range sprint on stage three at the Tour of Poland.

The Ecuadorian hit out with over 300 metres to go on the drag into the finish at Bielsko-Biala, leaping clear of his rivals and holding on to take an impressive victory.

That success was enough to elevate Carapaz into the yellow leader’s jersey, holding a four-second advantage after three stages.

Eddie Dunbar was also in the mix as a reduced bunch contested the finish, moving up to 10th place overall, 10 seconds back on his teammate heading into the weekend.

Team INEOS worked hard over the final laps of the finishing circuit, each ensuring the pace remained high to provide a perfect launchpad for Carapaz.

Richard Carapaz:
"I am very happy. We did a good race today as a team, and winning this way in a sprint was really good.

"It was very nervous in the last few laps of the circuit, but the guys put me in a really good position in the last corner. They did a fantastic job."

Thursday, August 6: Stage 2, Opole - Zabrze, 151.5 km

Stage 2 map & profile

World road champion Mads Pedersen wins stage two.

Weather at the finish city of Zabrze at 1:45 PM, local time: 22C (72F), cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). No rain is forecast.

Stage 2 preview: The second stage features 151.5 km and will start from Opole, an old fortified city crossed by the River Oder. It will certainly be another stage where team trains will dominate the last kilometers, and sprinters, along with Classics’  specialists will fight to cross the slightly uphill finish line first. The stage will end in the town of Zabrze, an important manufacturing center. There are two Lotto Sprint Intermediate Primes in Strzelce Opolskie and Ujazd and one Mountain Prime at St. Ann Mountain.

The race: Because new race leader Fabio Jakobsen (who, at this writing is in an induced coma at the hospital following his horrific stage one crash) and second-place Marc Sarreau cannot start the second stage, the race leadership fell to CCC team's Kamil Malecki. Malecki asked that the leader's jersey be given to Jakobsen's Deceuninck-Quick Step team. Because race regulations forbid this, Malecki is riding stage two with the leader's jersey.

Here's the report from third-place Davide Ballerini's Deceuninck-Quick Step team:

Davide Ballerini was in the mix for Deceuninck – Quick-Step on stage 2 of the Tour de Pologne, his first stage race since February, sprinting with the best in Zabrze, a finish venue at the event for the fourth consecutive year.

Animated by two men who took off early, the 151km stage was a quiet one until the closing kilometers, when the sprinters’ teams moved up through the peloton and positioned their leaders in anticipation of the mass gallop. Davide Ballerini patiently bided his time and launched his sprint with 150 meters to go on the right side of the road, putting in an impressive effort and notching up third, behind Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) and Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe).

“It was tough for all of us today, as Fabio was in our minds the entire day. He would have been in the mix, I’m sure of that, and with a good chance of taking another win. I really wanted to get a good result for him, but it wasn’t easy with these strong competitors. We have three more days here and we hope to score some nice results for our teammate, who we hope to overcome this difficult moment and make a full recovery”, said Ballerini after Thursday’s stage.

Weather at the finish city of Katiwice at 2:20 PM, local time: 21C (70F), cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 11 km/hr (7mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: There was a giant crash at the finish as Fabio Jakobsen and Dylan Groenewegen battled for position in the sprint. Groenewegen is said to have jostled Jakobsen who hit the barriers. Other riders crashed as well, including Groenewegen.

Groenewegen was initially awarded the stage win but was later disqualified.

Here's the report from Team Sunweb:

It was a hectic return to WorldTour stage racing on the opening day of the 77th edition of the Tour de Pologne.

The riders set off on a 198 kilometre route from Chorzów to Katowice and shortly after the flag dropped, a breakaway comprised of four riders developed. They would then go on to battle it out for the king of the mountain points and intermediate sprints before getting swept up by the chasing peloton upon the first passage of the finish line.

Once the breakaway had been caught, there was a noticeable conflict of interests at the front of the peloton between the sprinters jockeying for position and general classification contenders looking to stay out of trouble. The blistering speeds around the streets of Katowice, well in excess of 60 kilometres per hour, saw an abundance of crashes, including Wilco Kelderman, who thankfully was able to get back on his bike safely and make it back into the peloton.

Towards the business end of the stage, Team Sunweb made their presence felt as they muscled their way to the front in order to escort Alberto Dainese into a favourable position ahead of the anticipated mass sprint finish. A superb lead-out from Casper Pedersen saw him take the reins of the group for over 500 metres, setting up the Italian sprinter who unfortunately didn’t have the legs to finish off the job in what was to be a crash marred finale.

“It was a really stressful final.” stated Dainese after the race. “The guys did a fantastic job throughout the day to keep me well positioned and set me up for the finish, but I’m really disappointed that I didn’t have the legs to finish it off for them.”

Team coach Luke Roberts added: “It was a very nervous race out there today with a lot of the riders not racing for the past five months. Unfortunately due to that, there were quite a few crashes. We had Wilco involved in one of them. Luckily he was ok and managed to get back in the bunch with only a few grazes and we managed to avoid the other crashes. The guys did a great job in setting up Alberto in the final, he just didn’t have the legs to finish it off. A great performance with no end result. I’m hoping it’s a sign of things to come.”

Here is the organizer's statement about the accident:

A serious high-speed crash disrupted the first stage of the Tour de Pologne, leading to the cancellation of today’s stage. In the last 150 metres, Dylan Groenewegen and Fabio Jakobsen were fighting for the victory when the Jumbo-Visma rider rode into the sprinter of Deceuninck – Quick-Step, who fell against the barriers and bounced back into the arch of the finish line. Many riders who were at the front were involved in the accident.

Here's another shot of that terrible moment.

The UCI has found the behaviour of Dylan Groenewegen unacceptable, and has disqualified the Jumbo-Visma rider, assigning the stage victory to Fabio Jakobsen.

The organisation’s representative, Czesław Lang, says: “I followed the situation from the beginning. I have just come back from the Sosnoviec Santa Barbara Hospital. After speaking with the director, I can say that I am somewhat relieved. After seeing the crash, we feared the worst, but now we know that there are no serious internal injuries or major fractures, and the patient’s situation is stabilised. The race official also involved in the accident suffered a head injury but has already regained consciousness and is now in a stable condition. I really want to send a heartfelt thank you to the doctors and hospital staff for their prompt care and assistance and I also wish all the athletes involved in the crash a fast recovery.”
