Tour de Pologne stage 5 Kopalnia Soli Wieliczka – Bielsko-Biała
The interval mountain stage will surely provide the fans plenty of excitement. The peloton will take off from the Wieliczka Salt Mine and head west. On the way, the riders will compete on two second category TAURON Mountain Primes – at Rychwald and Hucisko and one first category TAURON Mountain Prime – at the Przelecz Przegibek mountain pass. There will also be two LOTTO Sprint Intermediate Primes on the route – in Miedzybrodzie Bialski and Bielsko-Biala, these to be held under the slogan PCK (Polish Red Cross) celebrates its 100th anniversary. Before the finish, the riders will perform three more spectacular rounds in Bielsko-Biala, each with a length of 7.2 km. Here last year won Michal Kwiatkowski in yellow jersey.
