All the prizes and jerseys riders will be competing for at the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour
With just a few days to go before the 81st edition of the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour, riders and spectators alike are gearing up for unforgettable moments. The greatest challenge of the general classification will be the fight for stage victories and the various classifications.
There are four leader jerseys and two special classifications. The podium will be toasted with Astoria Wines and at the end of the seven stages, the overall leader will lift the trophy designed by artist Mirko Demattè.
Once again, ORLEN, a long-time partner of the event, will represent the prestigious yellow jersey of the leader of the general classification. PZU will instead reward the best climber with the iconic blue polka dot jersey, while the white jersey dedicated to the sprinters is by Energa. Lotto will be at the side of the most active athlete in the peloton and Drutex will reward the stage winner.
New this year is the partner of the best team classification, a new entry in the Lang Team events: Decathlon. “The partnership with Tour de Pologne is another very important step for our brand.” said Nils Swolkien, Chief Executive Officer at Decathlon Poland. “We want to promote sport in our country and cycling is one of the most popular and accessible physical activities. Working with a partner like the Tour de Pologne is an opportunity for us to reach cycling fans across Poland on a large scale.”
Finally, it will be Energa Grupa ORLEN that will enhance the home athletes through the classification of the best Polish rider of the competition.
A new confirmation comes from Astoria Wines, which will once again celebrate the most iconic moments of the Tour de Pologne by uncorking its Prosecco, now famous in the world of professional cycling. “As always, we have great confidence in the work of Czeslaw and Agata Lang and their team,” said Astoria CEO Filippo Polegato. “We are happy to have won an important partnership this year, which confirms the growth of the Tour de Pologne on the international scene, both in terms of the quality of the race and the media visibility; from our point of view, we can certainly say that, thanks to this event and to the continuity of our partnership, Astoria Prosecco is now one of the best known brands in Poland and we want to strengthen.” In addition to the celebrations on the podium, Astoria wines will be present in all the hospitality areas of the Tour de Pologne to celebrate every moment of the event.”
The trophy awarded to the winner of the Tour de Pologne will once again be a true work of art, signed by Mirko Demattè. In keeping with tradition, the shape of the trophy symbolises continuity and the flow of energy through the street, the place of cycling par excellence. The base is made of a stone coated with quartz, which gives it a shiny appearance.
The artist from Trentino was also present this year at the Venice Biennale, the most prestigious event on the international art scene.
Its owner will therefore be proud not only of winning the general classification of the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour 2024, but also of this unique work of art.
