58th Tour of Poland - 2.3Poland, September 3-9, 2001Main Page Results Previous stage Stage 5 - September 7: Kozuchów - Szklarska Poreba, 160.5 kmNew leader after stage 5By Daniel Marszalek, cyclingnews.com correspondent Jaan Kirsipuu (Ag2r) lost his grip on the leader's jersey today as the Tour of Poland headed into the real mountains for the first time. Kirsipuu lost too much time in the final kilometres, giving the lead to Alexia's Dario Andriotto. Today's stage also saw the first Polish stage winner as Piotr Chmielewski (Mróz) sprinted up the last climb to finish in front of his breakaway companions Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole) and Serge Baguet (Lotto). The last part of today's stage went through the Góry Izerskie range, and later on the hills around Szklarska Poreba on the edge of the Karkonosze range, where the race will be finally decided this weekend. The first attacker of the day was Pawel Szaniawski from team Servisco, who won both early intermediate sprints at Lwówek Slaski (km 79) and Lubomierz (km 96). His maximum lead was 5'00, but as the mountains began he was soon caught. On the ascent to Mlynnica (Cat. 1 at 118 km) there was an attack by KOM leader Ruggero Marzoli from Cantina Tollo, who won the premium ahead of Andrea Tafi (Mapei) and Kazimierz Stafiej (Mróz). Marzoli was joined on the descent by Tafi and Enrico Cassani from Domo. Tafi was driving force of this break for the next 20 kilometres, Marzoli added some help, while Cassani was happy to stay in the wheels. But the maximum gap was just 0'23, because of a hard chase by five Fassa Bortolo riders working for their leader, Lithuanian Raimondas Rumsas. As the group of three was caught on the streets of Szklarska Poreba, another duo attacked, namely: Grzegorz Rosolinski (Servisco) and Marco Milesi (Domo). On one of the descents Tafi countered again. With 13 kilometres to go, the 1300 metre ascent to finish line began. Rosolinski and Milesi went through the finish line a few seconds ahead of Tafi, and bit more in front of the fragmented peloton (about 50 riders with race Leader Jaan Kirsipuu beginning to lose contact). But from there on it was still an 11.7 km lap, starting with the last part of GPM no. 2 of the day at 151.7 km (with 8.8 km to go). Tafi soon passed the leading duo, but he was quickly caught. A few hundred meters from the GPM line, Piotr Chmielewski (Mróz leader) attacked strongly and only six other riders kept his tempo: Rumsas, Jens Voigt (Credit Agricole), Pietro Caucchioli (Alessio), Serge Baguet (Lotto), Piotr Pryzdial (CCC-Mat, last year's winner) and Zbigniew Piatek (Mróz). On the descent the peloton re-grouped, and at least 20 other riders with Domo leaders Romans Vainsteins and Piotr Wadecki came back. On the final ascent with 900 meters to the line, 23 year old Polish rider Sylvester Szmyd (Tacconi Sport) increased the speed, but soon with 700 meters to go he was countered by Chmielewski, attacking again - this time it was worth a stage win. From the stretched main group the strongest turned out to be: Voigt, then came Baguet, Caucchioli, Rumsas, Pryzdial, Piatek and 8th another CCC-Mat rider. Kirsipuu lost couple of minutes in the final 13 kilometres, so the new leader became Dario Andriotto (thanks to his 1 minute advantage on stage one) from Alexia Alluminio. Andriotto is a danger rider, a fine time trialist (former Italian ITT champion and ITT winner during the 1997 Tour de Pologne). He will have a hard task to defend his lead tomorrow on the Queen stage from Piechowice to Karpacz, just 150 kilometres, but with six GPMs including five times up to Orlinek, and the ascent to the finish line.
