Here's the report from stage winner Jonathan Milan's Team Lidl-Trek:
The Italian champion Jonathan Milan celebrated a dominant sprint victory after Lidl-Trek controlled the much of the 234km opening stage.
Jonathan Milan made an immediate impact in his first race wearing the Italian national champion’s jersey, storming to victory on Stage 1 of the Tour de Pologne after a powerful bunch sprint in Koszalin.

The opening stage covered 234 kilometres from Gdynia to Koszalin, making it the longest stage of this year’s race. Despite nearly 2,000 metres of climbing, including the late ascent of Góra Chełmska inside the final kilometres, the peloton regrouped to set up a sprint finish
An early breakaway animated much of the day, but with the sprint teams committed to bringing the race back together, the escapees were reeled in before the finale. The late climb briefly stretched the bunch, yet the fast men remained in contention as the race hurtled towards Koszalin.
The Lidl-Trek boys expertly positioned Milan through the hectic run-in, allowing the Italian to unleash his trademark long-range sprint. Jonny proved untouchable in the final metres to take the stage victory and the first leader’s jersey of the race. The victory is a particularly special one for Milan, marking the first win of his reign as Italian national champion and a memorable debut in the tricolore jersey.
From Jonny..
"
It was really special to race with this new jersey. We started today all really committed to bringing home a nice result. We know that it would be tough because the parcours was really really hilly.
I have to say, the breakaway was super strong, but the guys here, they did a fantastic job, not giving them too many minutes. They had them always under control.
"
Of course, we had help from other teams, but then, you know, in the final, they also delivered me really well and into a perfect position. It was not easy at all to stick all together, but I think it went very well.
I know that the timing of all this, when I had to start the sprint, was perfect because I couldn't start too early because we would have this little kick, 200 metres to go, so couldn't start too early and not too late. Today everything really was perfect and a good sign for the coming days."

Here's the Tour of Poland report from second-place Paul Magnier's Team Soudal Quick-Step:
Paul Magnier scored his tenth top-three finish of the season, at the end of the mammoth opening stage, one of the longest seen this year at World Tour level. The peloton had to face a total distance of 234 kilometers, which separated Gdynia from Koszalin - where the race returned for the first time in 24 years - but the day had no other difficulties.

Ayco Bastiaens was the man designated by T-Rex Quick-Step to control the gap of the five-man breakaway, and the Belgian did again a flawless work for hours and hours. By the time his job was done, the escapees had only a handful of seconds left, a deficit which the bunch easily erased before the lead-out trains formed.
Magnier, who is back at the Tour de Pologne after last year’s successful maiden outing, showed a good turn of speed to take runner-up just behind Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and sign off the team’s first podium of the month.
“The team worked hard the entire day and I want to thank them for that. It was really hectic in the final kilometers, I had to brake at one point and lost a bit of speed, but I’m glad that I could still manage to be on the podium. There are two chances left and we remain confident we can fight for a win here”, Paul said after the stage.
Team Netcompany INEOS posted this report:
Stage one of the Tour of Poland ended with a fast and frantic bunch sprint, with Axel Laurance and Sam Welsford both finishing in the front group.
The flat 233km started aggressively from the outset, with Artem Shmidt active near the front as attacks flew from the flag.
A breakaway of six riders established an early advantage, but the peloton gradually brought the move under control. The group was reduced to three riders before the final escapees were caught inside the last 16km.
Dries De Bondt (Jayco AlUla) launched a late solo attack and briefly looked to have a chance of staying clear, but he was reeled in with 5km remaining as the sprint teams took control.

Michal Kwiatkowski was well positioned heading into the final two kilometres, with Axel Laurance and Sam Welsford on his wheel. Both Laurance and Welsford came home safely in the front group after a fast and frantic bunch sprint brought the opening stage to a close, with Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) taking the win.

Here's the Tour of Poland report from Team Visma | Lease a Bike:
Bart Lemmen animated the opening stage of the Tour de Pologne with a long breakaway together with five fellow escapees. A bunch sprint on the streets of Koszalin ultimately proved unavoidable, with Jonathan Milan sprinting to victory in the opening stage of the Polish stage race.
The 83rd edition of the WorldTour stage race got underway with a 234-kilometer long stage. After the start in Gdynia, a breakaway quickly formed, with Lemmen among those who initiated the move. The 30-year-old Dutchman from Team Visma | Lease a Bike was joined by five fellow escapees. On the flat course, their advantage grew to just under two minutes.
Stage one gets started.
There were plenty of bonus seconds available along the way. Lemmen picked up two seconds in one of the intermediate sprints. The early escapees never had a chance of competing for the stage victory, however. The teams with sprint ambitions ensured that the breakaway was caught with 14 kilometers remaining. In the inevitable bunch sprint, Milan proved to be the fastest. Thanks to his two bonus seconds, Lemmen sits sixth overall in the general classification.
“The plan for today was to have someone from our team in the breakaway,” Lemmen said afterward. “With so many intermediate sprints, you could immediately put yourself in a good position in the general classification. I was ultimately able to pick up two seconds, which puts me in sixth place overall. I can look back on a long day at the front of the race with satisfaction.”
“There are still some great stages coming up toward the end of the week,” Lemmen added. “On Tuesday and Wednesday, there are still opportunities for the sprinters on paper. From the fourth stage onward, the course gets tougher. Within the team, we have several riders we can play when things get difficult. We’re looking forward to that.”
And here's the Tour of Poland report from Team Picnic-PostNL:
The opening stage of the Tour de Pologne offered the sprinters a chance to battle for the first win, with the only major obstacle coming in the form of a 1.8-kilometre climb averaging 3.6% with seven kilometres to go. Six riders formed the early breakaway, but the peloton kept the gap below two minutes throughout the day.
The final escapees were caught with 16 kilometres remaining, before a solo attacker tried to stay away into the finale. The last attacker was caught in the final kilometres, setting up a fast and technical finish. In the narrow and twisty streets, Milan proved fastest to take the stage win. Frits Biesterbos was well positioned for the sprint but was unfortunately boxed in during the final few hundred metres, eventually leading Team Picnic PostNL across the line in 14th.

Here's the team's update:
Bahrain Victorious heads to the Vuelta a Burgos aiming for a stage victory and a top ten finish in the general classification.
The five-day race takes place from the 4th until the 8th of August. It begins with a punchy finish in Burgos before moving into the mountains, with uphill finishes in Pineda de la Sierra and Lagunas de Neila among the key moments of the week. Stage 3 also features the Puerto del Escudo shortly before the finish at the Balneario de Corconte, while the fourth stage gives the faster riders their best opportunity.
The team arrives in good spirits after a strong weekend in the Basque Country, with Pello Bilbao finishing fifth at the Clasica San Sebastian and Pau Miquel taking second at the Circuito de Getxo.
Pello Bilbao winning stage six of the 2025 Tour of Turkey.
Bilbao will act as road captain while continuing to build his condition towards the Vuelta a España. Afonso Eulálio will look for opportunities throughout the race, while Miquel gives the team another option on the punchier days and from breakaways. Žak Eržen will be the team’s sprint option, with Oliver Stockwell and Max van der Meulen providing support. Mathijs Paasschens completes the lineup in a role across all five stages.
Pello Bilbao said:
“I am going to Burgos with an open mind and without putting too much pressure on myself. I have realised that there is no point in making too many plans, because sometimes you suddenly find yourself in a race with good legs and good sensations. I am nearing the end of my career, I am enjoying racing, and I am happy to have found a good level of form. I am very motivated for every race that is still ahead of me.
"I want to finish my career in the best possible way. Winning a stage here in Burgos would be great, and doing it at the Vuelta would be even better. We have a team capable of fighting for a result on every stage, so we will go day by day and try to make the most of every opportunity. That could also lead us to a good result in the general classification.
"I was coming from a difficult period, but I have suddenly found good legs again. We will stay calm and continue progressing towards the Vuelta.”
Sports Director Franco Pellizotti added:
“We come into the Vuelta a Burgos in a good mood after a strong weekend, with Pello’s result in San Sebastián and Pau coming very close to victory in Getxo. The riders are quite fresh after a long period without racing and time at altitude.
"It is a demanding race, with different types of stages and opportunities throughout the week. We have a balanced team, with Žak for the sprint opportunities, while Afonso and Pau can be competitive on the harder days. The rest of the team gives us the support and flexibility we need across the five stages.
"Pello is improving day by day and showing that his condition is getting better. It is difficult to set a precise target for the general classification because the level here is very high, but our ambitions are also high. I am positive about these five stages. We have four riders here preparing for the Vuelta, and I believe we can have a very good race.”
