Van Summeren takes it all
By Daniel Marszalek

Johan Van Summeren (Predictor-Lotto) won the final stage of the Tour of Poland from second placed Robert Gesink (Rabobank) and Kim Kirchen (T-Mobile Team) in third. The stage result mirrored the general classification standings, with Summeren taking home the final leader's jersey.
The day's first serious breakaway formed during the first big loop around Karpacz, with 14 men, including strong riders Jens Voigt (Team CSC), Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas), Pablo Lastras (Caisse d'Epargne), Marzio Bruseghin (Lampre-Fondital), Giovanni Visconti (Quick.Step-Innergetic) and David Dario Cioni (Predictor-Lotto), breaking free. King of the Mountain's leader Yoann Le Boulangere (Bouygues Telecom) was also in the break and claimed the day's first climb at Karpacz Górny to sure up his jersey. The group gained a maximum advantage 1.25 minutes.
As Gerolsteiner lead a hard charging peloton the breakaway's advantage began to tumble, the main bunch bringing the riders back to just 25 seconds. It was at this point Bruseghin decided to wait no longer, going solo off the front on the third ascent to Orlinek. Karpacz Górny.and German Marcus Burghardt were able to join Bruseghin, but Bartosz Huzarski (Action-Uniqa) couldn't quite keep the pace of the trio.
On the fifth ascent to Orlinek Bruseghin dropped Burghardt at the base of the climb, just before the only intermediate sprint of the day in the center of Karpacz. Bruseghin reached the highest point of the loop in Karpacz Górny with one minute on Burghardt and 1.35 minutes on the main bunch. Burghardt was quickly caught on the descent and as the road began to flatten out again on the penultimate loop Swede Gustav Larsson (Unibet.com) broke away from the pack.
Bruseghin reached the top of Orlinek with a 30 second advantage on Larsson and just 21.7 kilometres remaining. With just 20 kilometres remaining Van Summeren decided it was his time to go and attacked strongly, brining with him Frenchman Matthieu Perget (Caisse d'Epargne). Van Summeren quickly dropped Perget and soon after caught Hubert Schwab (Quick.Step - Innergetic), who had been riding alone in no-man's land, at Karpacz Gorny. Meanwhile Larsson came up to Bruseghin on the last descent to Sosnówka and started taking big turns at the front.
Back in the peloton Jens Voigt (Team CSC) put in an attack, but it was quickly neutralized by race leader Murilo Fischer (Liquigas) and a Unibet.com rider. Out the front the race was being led by two groups of two riders, which linked into a slightly larger group when they came together at the bottom of the final climb with some five kilometres to go. The newly formed quartette had a 55 seconds margin over a dwindling bunch with all the race favourites.
As the race approached its final three kilometres Van Summeren hit the gas hard, immediately putting Bruseghin in trouble. Schwab and Larsson tried to respond to Belgian's attack, but couldn't match the increased pace. As Van Summeren kicked into gear out front, back in the main bunch action was also starting to heat up with Robert Gesink (Rabobank) breaking free and going on to catch both Larsson and Schwab in the final 1200 metres to take second place.
The tough uphill sprint finish for third place on the stage, and ultimately on general classification, was won by Kim Kirchen (T-Mobile), who claimed overall victory in Poland two years ago.
