One of the greatest cyclists of the 21st century, Chris Froome, has been included on the provisional start list for the 82nd edition of the Tour de Pologne UCI WorldTour, scheduled to take place from August 4th to 10th.

The 82nd Tour de Pologne is just around the corner. The WorldTour teams will begin their battle on August 4th in Wrocław, and the start list will feature some of the sport’s biggest stars.
