Geraint Thomas is the star name in the mix, but really the Tour de Pologne prides itself on serving as a launchpad for future stars of the sport, as demonstrated most recently by Jonas Vingegaard's podium finish at the Tour de France, two years on from taking his maiden UCI World Tour victory in Stage 6 of the 2019 TdP.
The race has been restored to its now-traditional seven-stage format after you-know-what forced an abridged edition a year ago. It proved to be memorable for all the wrong reasons, as Jakob Fuglsang suffered a horrendous crash on the controversial downhill finish of Stage 1.
The incident has forced the introduction of new barriers and a few tweaks to the route, which features three flat stages, two hilly stages, a medium-mountain stage and an individual time trial.
Read on for everything you need to know to watch a 2021 Tour de Pologne live stream from anywhere.
