Matej Mohoric secures overall victory at Tour de Pologne

Tim Merlier bookends seven-day race with sprint victories in Poznan and Kraków

Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) has captured the overall classification of the Tour de Pologne by a single second’s advantage over João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates), while Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep) claimed the final stage in Krakow in a bunch sprint.

Tied on time with Almeida after Thursday’s time trial in Katowice but still in yellow, Mohorič inched ahead on the overall on Friday by winning an intermediate sprint with a time bonus midway through the stage.

Neither Mohorič nor Almeida, second in the intermediate sprint, took part in the final dash for the line, with Merlier repeating his stage 1 victory ahead of Arvid de Kleijn (Tudor) and Fernando Gaviria (Movistar).

Defeated by Almeida in the 2021 Tour de Pologne, this time round the Slovenian has clinched the overall victory ahead of his Portuguese rival. Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) finished third despite a late crash.

“It was really a team effort, I would never have been able to do this without them,” Mohorič said afterwards. “Cvery single teammate contributed a lot and even today the race was decided on that bonus sprint.

“If I had been a single bike length slower, then I would have lost the race, so I can only thank them for this, they’ve been working hard all week and tonight we will celebrate.”

Mohorič also announced that he would donate all his share of the prize money to charities working with the victims of the torrential floods that devastated northern Slovenia on Friday.

How it unfolded

After a start outside Zabrze football stadium the first hour of racing across the plains of southern Poland was run off at such high speed that, as Almeida and UAE had obviously planned, there was no opportunity for a breakaway. Instead, the early part of the race culminated in a drawn-out duel after 67 kilometres between Almeida and Mohorič for the intermediate sprint and bonus seconds in the town of Wilamowice.

Almeida did his utmost to get round a string of two Bahrain Victorious riders and ahead of Mohorič.

However, the UAE leader’s final burst of speed proved insufficient to get past the Slovenian, who took the sprint by nearly a bike length after a long lead-out by Andrea Pasqualon. The battle for the GC was effectively over, 100 kilometres from the official finish in Krakow.

Transition stage business as usual then resumed, with a flurry of attacks instantly following Almeida’s last challenge for GC. Eventually 2023 Brabantse Pijl winner Dorion Godon (AG2R-Citroën), Cristian Scaroni (Astana Qazaqstan) and Marcin Budinski (Poland) managed to edge clear.

The trio worked well ahead, tackling one of the few hilly obstacles of the day, the cat. 3 Witanowice, with around a minute’s advantage. But the sprinters teams were clearly planning to maintain the fast men’s traditional dominance of Pologne’s Krakow finish for at least another year, and their gap did not rise any further.

A last ditch-effort from the three saw them make it to the outskirts of Katowice a handful of seconds ahead, while UAE and Movistar took command of the peloton. Although Budinski and Godon had a few metres gap as they crossed the line on the first of three finishing laps, the Pole and Frenchman were swept up almost immediately afterwards, prior to Soudal-QuickStep laying down an ever more insistent pace at the front of the bunch.

A mid-bunch crash with eight kilometres to go left a dozen riders down, with sprinter Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates) one notable victim, just as he had been in a late spill in the first day at Poznan. Mohorič was visibly active on the front in the finale as he fought both to stay out of trouble and to ensure Almeida did not make a last-minute attack. But with the sprinters’ teams still in control of the last laps, the GC battle was no longer an issue.

An Alpecin-Deceuninck rider tried hard to surprise the sprinters with a late jump away just before the final corner, and it briefly seemed as if the peloton would not come up to enough speed to bring him back. However, stage winner Merlier and Soudal-Quick Step were determined to bookend their participation in Pologne with a second stage win.

“With 800 metres to go, Bert [Van Lerberghe] started his leadout and that’s really early,” Merlier recounted to Cyclingnews afterwards, “so 600, 500, 400 metres went by and at 300 he was, like, shaking…

“So I saw Gaviria coming up and Bert lost speed, which was normal, because he had gone so early. It was difficult for me to get the 56 gear going today but once I did I could get Gaviria back, and in the end, for me, it was a good sprint.”

Tour de Pologne 2023: four jerseys up for grabs

The riders will compete for the leader’s jersey in the general classification, but also for the best sprinter, the best climber and the most active rider jerseys. 

Ahead of the official presentation on 19 th June live on TVP Sport, the 80 th edition of the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour is unveiling the four jerseys that riders will compete for on Polish roads from 29 th July to 4 th August.

The most coveted jersey will undoubtedly be the general classification jersey , sponsored for the first time by ORLEN , a long-standing partner of the Lang team for all races on the extensive sporting calendar: ORLEN Nations Grand Prix, Tour de Pologne Junior and ORLEN Tour de Pologne Amatorów and ORLEN Lang Team Race

The outgoing winner is Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers), who won the 2022 Tour de Pologne 11” ahead of Thymen Arensman (now Ineos Grenadiers, then Team DSM) and 18” ahead of Pello Bilbao (Bahrain-Victorious).

This year’s best sprinter’s jersey is sponsored by Energa , one of the four largest national energy companies and part of the ORLEN Group. In last year’s edition it was worn by Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) on the final podium, ahead of Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) and Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain-Victorious).

The best climber’s jersey , once again sponsored by the PZU insurance company, was worn by Jarrad Drizners (Lotto Soudal), who commented on his experience: “ My teammate Kamil Malecki was the leader of the climbing classification. I was in the breakaway on the last stage, which had some tough climbs, and we wanted to keep the leader’s jersey in the team, so I tried to get as many points as possible. It was really special because it was my first jersey in the pros and it was great to win it in such an important WorldTour race. In fact, it is now the most valuable piece of the collection I have at home .”

Finally, the most active rider’s jersey will be up for grabs, once again in partnership with LOTTO . Totalizator Sportowy, owner of the LOTTO brand, and member of the most important international lottery organisations. The 2022 jersey went to Polish rider Patryk Stosz (Polish National Team), who built his success on courage and determination: “ Last year, the team and I analysed the route before the race and immediately realised that this jersey was worth aiming for. With 9 of the 14 prizes up for grabs in the first three fractions, I had a good chance of winning this classification. That’s why I joined the breakaways in the first two stages, where I collected 16 points in total. Definitely a good haul for the following days. To be on the podium and wear the jersey in a race like the Tour de Pologne, where the level of the riders is very high, is something special for me. Then, in Krakow, my family was waiting for me and I was able to stand on the podium with my son. I will remember all these moments for a long time, just like two years ago when I won the climber’s classification .”

In less than two months’ time, the jerseys of the four leaders will be awarded to those who best manage their strengths, interpret the right strategy and complete the team’s work to perfection.
