On 29 July, cyclists will start in Kraków and cross the last finish line in Bukowina Tatrzańska, southern Poland, on 4 August.
The first day of racing will see cyclists cover a 137 km route which starts and ends in Kraków.
The remaining days will end in Katowice, Szczyrk, Zabrze, Rzeszów, Zakopane and Bukowina Tatrzańska and racers will ride through more than 500 towns and villages during the event.
“We have decided to somewhat change the route of the race, but it had to include Kraków, which is for us as important as Paris is to the Tour de France,” the race’s organiser, Czesław Lang, said. (vb/pk)
