The race was held on very difficult mountaineous and wet roads. Tomasz Brozyna from team Mroz is still in brilliant form and won (almost) without any competition more than 5 minutes ahead of French profesional Grzegorz Gwiazdowski. Both last year´s champions: ITT champion - Dariusz Baranowski from US Postal preparing for Tour de France, and road champion - Piotr Wadecki from Mroz (injured, waiting for knee surgery) did not start. Zbigniew Spruch from Mapei did not finish. In the ITT Championship, 24 years old Przydial riding for French elite team Paris Etoile won his first major title.

Friday was bitterly cold, with a strong wind - tough for the Time Trialists whilst Saturday and Sunday was fine. The Elite & U23 cats rode a tough 180km - mostly rolling hills, with a couple of long climbs. Interesting to note that the first three U23 TT times were better than the 1st elite's and that the U23 leading pack crossed the line some 9 minutes quicker than the first elite's time!ITT: Under 23: 1.
