Monday, July 18: 7th and Final Stage, Krakow 25 km individual time trial

The Race: Here's stage winner Alex Dowsett's Team Movistar's stage report:

Tour of Flanders, the Inside Story

Following deluge into the previous two stages in the Tatr mountains, including a hellish ride on Saturday with more than 80 abandons, and after crashes -with Fran Ventoso and Andrey Amador retired, fortunately not seriously hurt-, frozen hands… the last day of the 2016 Tour de Pologne the Movistar Team the taste of victory. And it came in a very unexpected, dominant way.

Alex Dowsett -28’59” to complete the 25km flat TT stage seven in Kraków- and Jonathan Castroviejo, 22” down on his team-mate, made the expectations of DS José Luis Jaimerena become reality as the Blues snatched a one-two that marks their 31st success of the year, now just five short of their all-time record high of 36 in 1998.

Rubén Fernández also featured prominently for the Movistar Team in Poland. The 25-year-old climber fron Murcia jumped two places forward in the overall classification on this final day, from 8th to 6th, following a nice TT performance to second his big effort to 8th in Zakopane’s circuit on Saturday. There, the one-man-show by Tim Wellens (LTS) all but secured triumph for him in the 2016 edition, the Belgian following the steps of 2015 victor Ion Izagirre who now defends the Blues’ pavillion in the Tour de France.

Alex Dowsett: “I knew it was going to be difficult - the difficult thing for me was actually getting to the stage. Yesterday, unfortunately we didn’t race, but it would have been really tough for me, the day before being just as hard just to make it through.

"I got here and looking at who was in the field, there were a couple of guys that could be near me if I had just ‘good’ legs, but I knew I stood a good chance of winning. In the end, the time trial went well for me: legs felt well all the way through, the numbers were good - I’m just happy with how it all went. It’s a big one, especially considering the important community of haemophiliacs here in Poland.

"It’s a way to send a message, especially to the young kids, that you can keep on achieving great things even when suffering from it. I just want to thank the team and its sponsors for their support to this victory today.”

Saturday, July 16: Stage 5, Wieliczka - Zakopane, 225 km

Tim Wellens

Tim Wellens

The Race: It was a day of terrible, cold rain that caused nearly half the peloton to abandon.

Here's the report from winner Tim Wellens' Lotto-Soudal team:

Bicycle History

Tim Wellens showed his incredible climbing skills during the fifth stage at Tour de Pologne. He finished off a stunning solo of 45 kilometres. The 25-year old Belgian obtained his third victory of the season, therefore Lotto Soudal already won fifteen races in 2016.

The breakaway wasn’t formed immediately as the opening of the stage was very hectic and the weather was really bad. Eventually, eighteen riders managed to go clear from the peloton, Sander Armée and Tim Wellens were part of it. Not long after that, Armée was reeled in by the peloton along with several other riders. A few moments later, a lot of attempts were made in the front group.  Wellens took initiative and tried to get away. At 45 kilometres from the finish, Wellens accelerated again and this time he managed to drop his co escapees. What followed was a huge effort. No one was able to close the gap to the very strong Wellens and he won the stage. Thanks to this performance, the Belgian rider is also the new leader on GC. Tiesj Benoot finished nicely third and he’s also third on GC at 4’50” of Wellens. Lotto Soudal finished with four riders in the top twenty of the stage; an excellent performance.

Tim Wellens: “It was a very spectacular day today. After twenty kilometres, the race was neutralized for a moment because of a big crash took place. The weather conditions were very bad the whole day so the road was slippery and dangerous. Luckily, I was saved from the misfortune. After the neutralization, many attempts to set up a break occurred. At a certain moment, a decided to join a break together with Sander Armée. In my opinion, it was good to be in a break because there wasn’t a particular team that controlled the race. I thought that we might have a chance to remain ahead. Sander did a lot of work in the front group, therefore I was able to sit back a bit.”

“Eventually, the front group consisted out of thirteen riders. After that, I decided to attack as the peloton almost closed the gap to the front of the race. Firstly, a few other riders joined me but a few kilometres later I accelerated again and then I was on my own. I was able to increase the lead steadily and I managed to win the stage. I’m very happy that I won I such a nice way. It’s true that I like this kind of weather, but after the finish I was cold and I had to warm up a bit. Because of this performance, I have a chance to win this year’s Tour de Pologne. But it will be another two hard days in the saddle. Tomorrow’s stage contains five laps with three climbs each so it will be a difficult stage. We have a very strong team, we can ride aggressively and that’s exactly what we’re going to try. Also the closing time trial suits me. I was very motivated to show myself in this Tour de Pologne and to aim for a good position on GC. This is a nice race with several possible outcomes. The race isn’t controlled by a specific team and I like that kind of races.”

Cycling's 50 Craziest Stories

A textbook lead-out of Etixx – Quick-Step helped Fernando Gaviria extend his lead at the top of the standings.

Fernando Gaviria is in scintillating form at the Tour de Pologne, where he proved to be the fastest rider of the peloton in the first four days, winning on two of them and taking his season tally to five successes. The most recent top result came on Friday, when he didn't give any chance to his opponents in the final meters of stage four, that covered 218 kilometers from Nowy Sacz to Rzeszow, the biggest city in southeastern Poland, which was hosting a finish for the fourth time in eight years.

Despite holding a gap which at one point exceeded seven minutes, the day's five attackers didn't stand a chance against the peloton, controlled mainly by Etixx – Quick-Step, whose riders were keen on delivering 21-year-old Fernando Gaviria at the finish. With 20 kilometers to go, the escapees were caught by the bunch and as soon as the pace slowed down a bit, former Czech champion Zdenek Stybar tried to test the water and see if a solo attack could stick.

Zdenek took ten seconds on the bunch, forcing other teams to come to the fore and bring him back. In Rzeszow, Etixx – Quick-Step hit the front once again, with three kilometers remaining, as Lukasz Wisniowski decided to put on the watts and make sure no one will take front stage. As soon as his job was finished, Bob Jungels stepped in, pushing a really hard tempo and stretching out the pack. Inside the final 700 meters, Davide Martinelli and Nikolas Maes where the ones who worked hard in order to leave Fernando in an excellent position, and the young Colombian neo-pro capitalized on the excellent job of the team and sprinted to his second victory of the week, ahead of Luka Mezgec (Orica-BikeExchange) and Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky).

"It was a difficult day for me, because I had to deal with neck pain after crashing yesterday and my legs weren't so smooth. The team worked really well, controlled the race from the beginning and that's why I said to myself that it's important to get the job done at the finish. In the last kilometers, the guys pulled a great number to bring me at the front, Nikolas gave me an excellent lead-out and I launched my sprint. For a second, I thought I will lose the race, because Mezgec was coming really strong from behind, but I found the power to change the gear and had the legs to keep on going and cross the line first. It was a victory of the head more than of the legs and at the same time a win of the entire team. I'm really proud of my teammates", a delighted Fernando explained at the finish, after the success which gives him a 19-second cushion over the next rider in the GC.

Getting the victory and donning the yellow jersey for a third consecutive day weren't the only things on Fernando's mind, who wanted to express his sympathy towards all the people saddened and affected by the terror attack which took place in Nice, on Bastille Day: "The only thing that makes me sad after this victory is what happened in France, on Thursday evening. It's impossible not to think of it and I want to send my thoughts and condolences to the families of the victims and to all those who are suffering and in pain. I really hope such things will come to an end, because it's really crazy that we can't live in a world of peace and understanding."

Niccolo Bonifazio wins Tour of Poland stage 3

Niccolo Bonifazio wins Tour of Poland stage 3

The Race: Stage winner Niccolo Bonifazio's Trek-Segafredo team had this to report about the day's racing:

Tour of Flanders, the Inside Story

The third time was the charm for Niccolo Bonifazio in the Tour of Poland as he bettered the first two stage's bunch finishes with his first WorldTour win, and first victory this year, in stage three Thursday.

After a fast start, the 240-kilometer race settled when the peloton consented to a five-man breakaway, and similar to previous stages the breakway was caught and the final kilometers were thorny, this time with a few steep hills thrown in for measure.

The peloton split over the narrow roads and steep climb, but regrouped ahead of the final dash to the line, and this time Bonifazio made no mistake. In the last meters, he jumped around Fernando Gaviria (Etixx-Quick Step) to take the win by a bike length.

"I suffered on the steep climb 25 kilometers from the finish," explained a jubilant Bonifazio. "But I followed the Etixx (Quick Step) train to get back to the bunch with Gaviria. I recovered and then in the sprint I decided to follow Gaviria's wheel. I felt good, and I was able to pass him easily with 200 meters to go. I was confident I could do well in one of the sprints this week, and today everything went perfectly.

"I am so happy because since the beginning of the year I was searching for a victory. I dedicate this win to my teammates, they have helped me for three stages and today I was finally able to pay them back with the victory."

Fabio Felline, in his first stage race back from injury, did what he could for Bonifazio, but in the end, Bonifazio, under his own power and savvy, freelanced his way to the win. "I couldn't do everything I wanted for Niccolo because I had cramps. This is my first big race back, and when it went fast, I paid for it. When I finally made it to the front, he was on the other side, and I had no chance to get close.

"I wished I could have helped Niccolo more, but I guess I didn't need to today! Huge respect to Niccolo because he positioned himself already in a good position. Fantastic work for him to do this solo!"

"We knew that today that it could most likely come to a sprint again, "added director Dirk Demol. "It was a fast start again until five riders went away. Then all day it was a steady tempo until we came into the final, where in the last 30kms there were steep climbs and narrow roads. The peloton split into several parts and in the first 60-70 riders we only had Niccolo and Fabio (Felline).

"It was a bit hectic because there was a crash and the team cars were caught behind. In the end, a group came back with Fumy (Beppu) and it was again a large peloton. Today we decided to just bring Niccolo in position to Ewan or Gaviria for the last kilometer and a half because we do not have the power here for a train. Fabio did what he could; he did a great job. We are super happy because we came here with the intention to win a stage and we have reached our goal after two days. That's super nice."

Cycling's 50 Craziest Stories

A confusing and technical final kilometer saw our Italian neo-pro Davide Martinelli emerge victorious on stage 1.

We're midway through the season and Davide Martinelli can already run for the best neo-pro rider of 2016 award. After joining the team in the winter, the rider who hails from Brescia needed just eight days to notch up his maiden victory of the year, which came at the inaugural edition of Tour La Provence. After that success, he combined team duty with strong individual results, such as the top 10 finishes he got in the general classification of Ster ZLM Toer and in the individual time trial race at the National Championships.

After his home race, Davide took a break and began building for the second half of the season, which he kicked off at the Tour de Pologne, on Tuesday, with a flat stage between Radzymin and Warsaw, over a distance of just 138 kilometers. On paper, the parcours was flat, but still had several traps for the riders inside the last kilometers, when an uphill drag, a cobbled section and a few technical corners were poised to make the fight for the win more exciting and difficult.

Six men left in a breakaway at the start of the day, but with the route being a rather short one, they weren't allowed to take more than three minutes on the pack, which was controlled by Etixx – Quick-Step (with the help of a very strong Lukasz Wisniowski), Katusha and Orica-GreenEdge. With 20 kilometers to go, they were reeled in and that was the cue for Maciej Paterski (CCC Sprandi Polkowice) to try his luck, but the attack he put in was to no avail, because the bunch quickly took back the 20 seconds that were separating them.

Just as the riders were entering the final kilometer, Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Sky) tried to forge a gap, but was immediately countered by Tirreno-Adriatico stage winner Zdenek Stybar. The peloton soon split and in the chaos created, Philippe Gilbert (BMC) tried to take advantage of the situation and accelerated, but Davide Martinelli came on the Belgian's tail, passed right by him and continued all the way to the line, scoring his first World Tour victory of the season. Etixx – Quick-Step's perfect day was rounded out by the strong placings of Fernando Gaviria and Stybar, who finished second, respectively fourth, their results taking the squad to the top of the teams standings.

"In the last kilometer, just before the cobbled part, I took the corner full gas and saw Stybar pass me, as he was closing an attack of Kwiatkowski. Then I followed Gilbert, who made a move, and seized the moment. I looked over my shoulder twice, noticed that I have a gap and realized I can win. It's a dream to take my maiden World Tour victory and I'm very happy. It's a special day which I'll always remember", said 23-year-old Davide Martinelli – the first leader of the Tour de Pologne – who nabbed Etixx – Quick-Step's 35th victory of the season.
