Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) has won stage 2 of the Tour de Pologne and is now the new race leader after outdueling Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) at the tough summit finish of Karpacz.
Mohoric and Almeida finished a few metres ahead of a lead group of around a dozen riders after a late attack by Rafal Majka (UAE Team Emirates) and Lennert van Eetvelt (Lotto-Dstny) had been reeled in.
The long, hilly stage came down to the tough final four-kilometre ascent, with a front group of 30 riders tackling the climb together.
After Majka attacked, Van Eetvelt bridged across, but they were swept up almost within sight of the finish, and Mohoric and Almeida then fought it out for the victory.
More to come….
