2015 Tour de Pologne

There will also be two categorised climbs, again in Będzin but also in Dąbrowa Górnicza, where five laps of a 10 km (6.2 mi) circuit will be held.

After the start in Zawiercie, the peloton will head east towards Tarnowskie Góry, where a special sprint will take place.

Then, the riders will turn south-east and pass through Piekary Śląskie, Chorzów and Siemanowice Śląskie, each of which will host an intermediate sprint, before entering a finishing circuit 14.7 km (9.1 mi) in length, to be completed four times.

The final 1 km (0.6 mi) is downhill, and speeds there reach 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph).

The road is being used continuously since 2010 and saw victories for Yauheni Hutarovich, Marcel Kittel in 2011, Aidis Kruopis in 2012, Taylor Phinney in 2013 and Jonas Vangenechten the year before.

After the descent from Trzetrzewina, the peloton will complete three loops of a 7.6 km (4.7 mi) circuit in Nowy Sącz, to conclude the day's running.

The queen stage of the 2014 Tour de Pologne is, since 2011, a circuit race around Bukowina Tatrzańska (although the village was visited in 2010).

The last stage will be a time trial starting and finishing at the Main Square in Kraków.
