As Pascal Ackermann gets his 5th win in Poland, Sergio Higuita maintains the lead of the Tour de Pologne despite a crash in the final<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 179.4-kilometre-long fourth stage, from Lesko to Sanok, ended with Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates) skilfully winning on a course particularly suited to puncheurs, finishing ahead of Jordi Meeus (BORA – hansgrohe) and Jonathan Milan (Bahrain Victorious).<\/p>\n

“This is my fifth victory at the Tour de Pologne but I think it is the most beautiful. The team did a great job keeping a perfect pace on the last climb before the finish<\/em>.” confirms a super excited Pascal Ackermann. “The finale was technical but Molano did a great job leading me perfectly. I trusted him and followed him. I then sprinted for the win. I had the best lead out possible. It’s a good team victory. This year, because of the injury, I wasn’t always able to express myself at my best but now I’m fine. It’s a great satisfaction. Tomorrow’s stage is similar on paper. It won’t be easy but I will certainly try<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

It was a relatively quiet first part of the stage, featured by a few attacks and counter attacks to form the day’s breakaway including Nans Peters (ACT), Mads Schmidt (LPT) Kamil Ma\u0142ecki (LTS), Rui Oliveira, (UAD), Andreas Skaarseth (UXT). While the breakaway maintained a gap of just over 1′ from the peloton, Remi Cavagna (QST) and MIke Teunissen (TJV) launched themselves in pursuit of the head of the race without success. With about 5 km to go, as INEOS Grenadiers pulled ahead and bridged the gap metre by metre, the breakaway was caught. Shortly afterwards, at -3km sign, Zdeneck Stybar (QST) launched an attack worthy of a classics specialist. While the Czech maintained his lead, a crash in the bunch involved current General Classification leader Sergio Higuita (BOH). With just 200 metres to go, the brilliant attempt by the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team rider came to an end when Pascal Ackermann launched his sprint to cross the finish line first.<\/p>\n

“I was on the wheel of Jordy Meeus<\/em>” declared Sergio Huiguita, “and we were in a good position to tackle the finale when, entering a right-hand bend close to the finish, a Cofidis rider fell. Inevitably the riders behind him braked. I was among them. I braked and my front wheel slipped. I lost control of the bike and fell. After the fall my knee hurt and I was struggling to pedal. Now it’s a matter of going back to the hotel, resting, and figuring out how to deal with it tomorrow<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Kamil Ma\u0142ecki (LTS) is the new leader of the Mountain classification, after winning all three mountain finishes on today’s stage. He said: “I am happy with my race and especially with this jersey, which is a real reward for the day spent in the breakaway. I had already tried the breakaway in the first stage but without harvesting much. For me this is an important moment, as I come from two difficult years and racing in Poland in front of my home crowd is the best. Now I will try to defend the jersey. I think the KOM classification will only be decided on the last stage with the last three mountain stages. I will do my best to defend the lead<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Tomorrow at 12:30 the peloton will set off from \u0141a\u0144cut in the direction of Rzesz\u00f3w for a 205km stage that promises to be quite demanding with 2970 metres of elevation gain, several climbs and a 20km finishing circuit around the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
