The first stage of the Dookola Mazowsza was criterium held in Wyszkow, with points on every lap as well as bonus seconds. The overall leader is Robert Radosz from Atlas who gained 42, despite the fact that the stage was won by Siergiej Sawieliew (Ukrainian from Mikomax).

Ukrainian giant takes over

Today's stage on a windy course saw a successful break of 11 riders clear with 45 kms to go. There was no sign of early leader, Robert Radosz in it thus we have a new leader. After spending a day in yellow in Baltyk-Karkonosze earlier this month, Ukrainian "hightower" (Bondariew must be 1.9 m) from the Lodz amateur team Mikomax has another such jersey.

Stage 4 - July 29: Wyszogrod - Plock, 189 km

Longest stage doesn't shake Mikolajczyk

The longest stage of this race, as all the previous ones, ended in laps of a street circuit. The last few hundreds metres were cobbled, so it was not an easy finish. That suited the experienced sprinter from MAT Ceresit, Piotr Zaradny, who won ahead of two youngstars: Tomasz Lesniak from Mikomax & Hubert Nowak from Legia.
