Tour de Pologne Women is back!
Eight years after its first edition, the Tour de Pologne Women returns with three fascinating stages promising real spectacle.
“There is no more rapidly growing sport today than women’s cycling. Watching the ladies in action is pure excitement and the whole cycling world recognizes this. We already organized such a race eight years ago, and now we are back. This year we will hold a 3-stage event” says Czesław Lang, Olympic medalist and organizer of the race.
The Tour de Pologne Women 2024 is listed in the 2.2 category of the UCI World Calendar and will take place over three stages from 28th to 30th June on a route that is still being finalized.
“I know how to develop the race and make it a platform where the most important is sport, but at the same time the event offers promotional and advertising opportunities. Cycling is ideally suited for this, which we confirm every year on the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour The race has become a showcase for our country around the world. says Czeslaw Lang.
The first edition of the race took place in 2016, at a time when the calendar was not as full of competitions dedicated to the women’s category as it is today. It was the beginning of an era that has now reached a very high level, with increasing media coverage and interest. The protagonist of that year was Jolanda Neff, now an established Swiss cyclist and mountain biker who rides for the Trek Factory Racing team. A cross-country specialist, she has won the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, an elite world title, three World Cups and four elite European titles.
The great achievements of the women’s category and the determination to fight for gender equality have led Czeslaw Lang and his team to work hard to achieve this and return to an event at the level expected.
“Even then I knew that this was the right direction. A few years have passed and it is worth returning to this idea. I am convinced that the Tour de Pologne Women will be watched with bated breath by everyone. Especially since our female cyclists, headed by Katarzyna Niewiadoma, have been performing sensationally in recent years” said Lang.
