This time peleton crossed the line in full squad. German cyclist Andre Greipel of HTC-Columbia team won in Dąbrowa Górnicza.
Kept my fingers crossed for the break, because two Poles took part in it. Four riders separated from the rest at 15 km.
Marcin Sapa of Lampre team and Bartłomiej Matysiak of Polish national team tried to reach the finishing line before the peleton even when two other riders gave up. They effort was fruitless, as the peleton was dereminted to catch the break, and sucessed when there was only few km to the finishing line.
Remember that once, before TdP was made a part of UCI ProTour, Marcin Sapa won in Olsztyn, after a sucessful break he ride together with other Polish cyclist. It was also the 2nd stage, the longest. This time, however, he didn't had enough luck.
Interesting stage tomorrow, much shorter than todays, good for sprinters.
