ALL THE STARS COMING OUT FOR THE START OF THE
67th TOUR DE POLOGNE
01-07/08/2010
 
July 28th, 2010 – Everything’s ready for the Tour de Pologne which kicks off Sunday, August 1st, with a first stage that’s 175.1 km long, from Sochaczew to Warsaw. There are 23 teams lining up for the start of the race with seven stages planned between Sunday the 1st and Saturday the 7th of August, for a total of 1256.5 km before the final finish line in Krakow which will coronate the winner of the 2010 edition.
There are 18 Pro Tour formations: AG2R la Mondiale, Astana, Caisse d’Epargne, Euskaltel Euskadi, Footon-Servetto, Francaise des Jeux, Garmin-Transitions, Lampre-Farnese Vini, Liquigas Doimo, Omega Pharma-Lotto, Quick Step, Rabobank, Sky Professional Cycling Team, Team HTC-Columbia, Team Katusha, Team Milram, Team Radioshack, Team Saxo Bank. These teams will be joined by the following 5 squads invited by the organisers: Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team, Cervelo Test Team, BMC Racing Team, Skil-Shimano and Polska BGZ.
 
Many excellent participants are contributing to the high level of the starting line up. 2008 World Champion Alessandro Ballan (BMC Racing) stands out in particular, since he won the last edition of the Tour de Pologne and he’s shown himself to be in excellent shape on the roads of the Grande Boucle this year.  Team Astana, the Kazak team that won at the Tour de France with Alberto Contador, will feature Spain’s Oscar Pereiro, who already won the Grande Boucle in 2006; for the sprints they’ll have Australian Allan Davis, who’s already familiar with the roads in Poland. There are a lot of fast riders in the group with Germany’s Andre Greipel (Htc-Columbia), Italians Danilo Napolitano (Katusha), Daniele Bennati and Jacopo Guarnieri (Liquigas-Doimo), Angelo Furlan and Mirco Lorenzetto (Lampre-Farnese Vini), Belgians Wouter Weylandt (Quick Step) and Geert Steegmans (Radioshak), Brazilian Murilo Fischer (Garmin Transitions), Argentina’s Josè Haedo and Australian Baden Cooke (Saxo Bank), Graeme Brown (Rabobank), from New Zealand Gregory Handerson (Team Sky) and German Robert Forster.
 
Other stars who’ll be coming out include: Rinaldo Nocentini (AG2R La Mondiale), six days in the yellow jersey in the 2009 Tour de France; Belgian Champion and winner of two Ronde Van Vlaanderen races Stijn Devolder and the American climber Tom Danielson (Garmin Transitions).
 
There will also be plenty of combative riders ready for attacks and breaks, like Russian Mikhail Ignatiev (Katusha), Italian Dario Cataldo (Quick Step), Pablo Lastras, Vasili Kiryienka and Josè Cobo Acebo (Caisse d’Epargne),  Frederic Guesdon  and Jussi Veikkanen (Francaise des Jeux), Xavier Tondo Volpini (Cervelo), Joost Posthuma (Rabobank), Leif Hoste (Omega Pharma-Lotto) and Markus Fothen (Milram).
 

Among the interesting young riders there is Italian Fabio Felline (Footon Servetto), b. 1990, fresh off his experience at the Grande Boucle, Slovaks Martin and Peter Velits (Htc-Columbia) and Peter Segan (Liquigas Doimo).
 
Hometown idols include Liquigas-Doimo’s Sylvester Szmyd, who was essential to Ivan Basso’s victory at the Giro d’Italia, with his team mates Maciej Bodnar and Maciej Paterski, Marcin Sapa (Lampre-Farnese Vini), Jaroslaw Marycz (Saxo Bank), Michal Golas (Vacansoleil) and the young riders from Team Polska BGZ.
