The riders know the Bukovina Resort arrival very well, as it’s a true classic in the Polish competition as well as the conclusion of one of the most spectacular and fought stages. It starts from Tarnów, called “The Pearl of the Renaissance” for its beautiful old city, and finishes at the Bukovina Resort after having tackled 160 km, 2700m elevation gain, and all the hardest climbs characterizing the final part of the stage. The enchanting natural scenery of the mountain surrounding this amazing area will be the setting for a spectacular stage, both in terms of vertical elevation gain and landscape.
