The Tour de Pologne is central Europe's only WorldTour series stage race, and is also its country's biggest cycling event. A week-long race featuring bunch sprint and hilly stages, it is traditionally decided by very small time gaps, where bonus seconds can be crucial.
Having started in 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.
