    Going by the text it has four flat stages followed by two hilly stages and wait for it a 3km team time trial to start with wtf ? One spell on the front for each rider lol

    The link above seems to be for last year's event - the 2007 (64th) Tour of Poland has a website here:
    http://www.langteam.webworld.pl/tour/

    ...............however it's a nasty Flash riddled piece of pox - I can't find a rider start list anywhere on there - the following teams are listed though:

    Gerolsteiner, Lampre, CSC, Credit Agricole, Liquigas, Bouygues Telecom, Astana, Cofidis,
    Disco, FDJ, AG2R, Euskatel, Saunier Duval, Unibet, Caisse D'Epargne, QuickStep, Predictor Lotto, T-Mob, Action Uniqa & Ceramica Flaminia.

    ............and the following "big names":
    Di Luca, Ballan, Voigt, Cancellara, Frank & Andy Schleck, Kim Kirchen, Fabian Wegmann, Mirko Celestino, Popovych, Vladimir Gusev, Thomas Voeckler, Frederic Guesdon, Sandy Casar, Bradley Wiggins, Andreas Kloden, Dario Cioni, Victor Hugo Pena.

    Stages as follows (for profiles click "Route" in the left-hand window and then "Przekroj" against each stage - takes ages to load though):
    Stage 1 - Sun 9/9 - 3km flat TTT in Warsaw city centre
    Stage 2 - Mon 10/9 - 202km flat
    Stage 3 - Tue 11/9 - 192km flat
    Stage 4 - Wed 12/9 - 240km flat
    Stage 5 - Thu 13/9 - 255km flat
    Stage 6 - Fri 14/9 - 181km with 3 climbs to 800m, the last being 30km from finish
    Stage 7 - Sat 15/9 - 147km with 6 climbs to 800m and final climb to 800m

    If anyone knows where the rider start list actually is, post the link or instructions to access it here!

    Not sure how accurate it is but here is a start list

    http://www.cyclingstartlists.com/2007/0 ... Poland.htm

    I believe Klöden is still injured from his pre-Plouay coming together with an arrogant French driver!

    Hang on, that's tautologous all French drivers are arrogant! :lol:

    I'm useless at predicting sprint finishes, so I'll go for Matti Breschel for stages 2-5 & he might win one of them...
    Voigt for stage 6
    Frank Schleck for stage 7....

    Hi there.

    Overall: Andy Schleck
    etap 1: CSC (Sunday)
    etap 2: Gerald Ciolek (Monday)

    Be careful with the stage numbers - the official site has today's TTT down as stage 1.

    Cheers, Andy
