Tour de Pologne 2024 overview

The 81st edition of the Tour de Pologne takes place August 12-18, 2024. 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.

Matej Mohorič (Bahrain Victorious) won the GC title last year in a close battle with João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates). Poland’s Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) finished third overall, 17 seconds back. The Bahrain-Victorious rider moved into the overall lead with a victory on stage 2 and held off his rival by just one second on the final day, a reversal of their finish in 2021 when Almeida took the GC win.

Check out the list of all the past winners of the Tour de Pologne.

The start of the 81st Tour de Pologne will be one of the toughest in recent years, with the opening three days in the challenging terrain of Lower Silesia, including a hilly time trial on the second day of racing.
