Stage 1: Olav Kooij takes first leaders jersey with sprint victory in Legnica

Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) won the opening stage of the Tour de Pologne on Monday to earn the first leaders jersey of the seven-day stage race. The Dutch sprinter surged to the front of the peloton in the final 200 metres, well ahead of a crash 1500 metres before that disrupted the sprint teams, and held off Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep), who was second, and Jensen Plowright (Alpecin-Deceuninck), who took third.

Tour de Pologne 2025 overview

The 82nd edition of the Tour de Pologne takes place August 4-10, 2025. The Tour de Pologne remains the only WorldTour stage race in central Europe and is also its country's biggest cycling event. The week-long race featuring bunch sprint and hilly stages is traditionally decided by very small time gaps, where bonus seconds can be crucial.

The race began 1928 as an amateur race and now in its 80th edition, in 1993 it became a fully professional-only race, before joining the WorldTour series in 2005.

Run by the Lang organisation since 1993, three riders hold the record for three wins in the event: Dariusz Baranowski, Andrzej Mierzejewski and Marian Wieckowski.

Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) won the GC title last year, besting Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates) by 13 seconds. Vingegaard's teammate Wilco Keldermann finished third overall, 20 seconds back. The Dane moved into the overall lead on stage 2 with a second-place finish and held off his rival without any stage victories.
