The race: Everyone knew the 2015 Tour of Poland was going to be decided today. Between the close times of the riders at the top of the GC standings and the day's relatively long individual time trial, this would not be over until it was over.

Of the riders near the top of the standings, Jon Izaguirre turned in a fine time, but he had to wait for the other top riders, including overnight race leader Sergio Henao, to finish their rides.

Henao finished 48th, two and a half minutes slower than stage winner Marcin Bialoblocki and a minute slower the Izaguirre. The result was Izaguirre became the winner of the 2015 Tour of Poland with Henao eighth, 54 seconds back.

Sergio Henao wins stage 6

Sergio Henao wins Tour of Poland stage 6

The Race: This was a hilly day that saw about 20 riders abandon.

A good-sized break with some excellent riders like Bram Tankink and Michal Kwiatkowski went clear. After some serious resistance from the escape, the break was caught.

Other riders went clear, but all the escapees were caught. In the day's closing kilometer Sergio Henao took off alone and that was the race. Henao came in eight seconds ahead of his nearest chaser, Diego Ulissi.

Henao's efforts were not only good enough to win the stage, he is now the race's overall leader, but tied on time with Ulissi.

Cycling's 50 Craziest Stories

The Race: Until today, the 2015 Tour of Poland had been a series of flat stages won by sprinters. Today was different, with stage 5 having a set of hills that promised to break things up and change the standings.

And that's just what happened. Again and again, as the riders went over the climbs, small groups got away and were chased down. But as that was going on, the inevitable thinning of the pack occurred as less capable climbers were dropped. A look at the results below will show that riders who finished 42nd or worse were more than twenty minutes behind the day's winner at the end of the stage.

On the final ascent, a small group formed. And it was from this escape, with a couple of kilometers to go, Lotto-Soudal's Bart de Clercq made good his getaway.

He held his small gap to the finish to not only take the stage, but to become the new Tour of Poland GC leader.

Results:

223 kilometers raced at an average speed of 38.36 km/hr

The Race: It was another day of wet racing at the Tour of Poland.

Paris–Roubaix: The Inside Story

Three riders went clear while the stage was still young: Maciej Bodnar (Tinkoff-Saxo), Gatis Smulukis (Katusha) and Kamil Zielinski (Poland). The pack seemed to give the trio a lot of freedom, at one point letting them get more than twelve minutes up the road.

Before the stage was half done, the gap had come down to a little more than five minutes, but the peloton didn't seem to have the motivation to finish the job. The trio remained off the front.

As the race went over the day's hilly parcourse, overnight GC leader Marcel Kittel was unable to stay with the peloton and eventually finished more than nine minutes down.

The escapees made it to the line just twenty seconds ahead ahead of the main group. Maciej Bodnar took the stage win while Polish team rider Kamil Zielinski became the new race leader.

Cycling Heroes: The Golden Years

The Race: While the stage was still young, six riders went clear, but the peloton kept the escapees on a short leash, never letting them get more than a few minutes down the road.

With about four kilometers remaining, the sextet was caught, setting things up for a sprint. There was a short climb before the line, causing GC leader Marcel Kittel to lose position. He was brought back, but it was Matteo Pelucchi, the stage two winner, who prevailed, giving him two stage wins in a row.

Kittel's seventh place was good enough for him to remain the overall leader.

Matteo Pelucchi wins Tour of Poland stage 2

The race: A five-man break was able to escape the clutches of a peloton determined to use the day's flat profile for a big sprint. The fugitives were never allowed much rope and were reeled in with around twenty kilometers to go.

That should have been that, with a mass rush for the line the inevitable finale. But, there was some hard elbowing that resulted in a crash, blocking most of the field. The video shows the unfortunate carnage clearly.

Of those who were not blocked, IAM Cycling's Matteo Pelucchi was the fastest. Overnight leader Marcel Kittel remained at the top of the GC.

A look at the stage result below will show that because of the crash, all the riders were given the same time today.

The Race: Early on three riders went clear: Matej Mohoric, Adrian Kurek and Pawel Bernas. But this fast circuit race was destined to have a sprint finish. The trio was rounded in plenty of time for for a romp to the line.

Giant-Alpecin's Marcel Kittel was the day's fastest rider, going by Caleb Ewen, who had been the first through the final corner. Kittel is also, of course, now the race's overall leader.
