Poland is mostly a very flat country. Only the southern Poland and some parts in the north are hilly. Over 10 years ago, when TdP was still a continental race it liked to have the western route with Koszalin, Poznań, hilltop finish on Orlinek in Karpacz and an MTT to said Orlinek. I'm mentioning this because the first stage was often a loop around Gdańsk and a hilly region known as Kaszuby and many guys tried to design really fine WC courses in Gdańsk. other interesting, but very isolated roads are around Suwałki.Zinoviev Letter said:Teuns and the rest getting back was the punishment the five strongest deserved for staring at each other when they were away as the lead chase group. They are probably still going to be the strongest tomorrow though.
The hilly classic style stage in Poland is always really good. In fact the climbing stages in general there are often fun, which for years left me with a vague and entirely confused impression that Poland is a country full of pretty and dramatic hills.
I like that Sagan will go deep enough to completely blow himself up to defend a probably undefendable yellow jersey.
Great ride from Haig. He looks like a young rider with a notable future.

Harder or easier climbs? Exciting GC battle or will they all wait for the final climb?

Teuns is not in the first group. Someone was misinformed.DNP-Old said:The war is on. Sagan went early and Teuns is with him.

Ta.
