The 2025 Tour de Pologne<\/a> came to a close on Sunday with
\nBrandon McNulty sealing the overall victory in the final day\u2019s time trial.
\nAntonio Tiberi finished second, Matteo Sobrero third. For Team Visma <\/a>| Lease a
\nBike, last year\u2019s winners with Jonas Vingegaard, this edition was less about
\nthe yellow jersey and more about chasing stage success, and they delivered
\ntwice. Olav Kooij<\/a> and Matthew Brennan<\/a> both claimed victories during the week,
\ngiving the team two strong results in a race where the overall classification
\nproved out of reach.<\/p>\n

On Saturday\u2019s queen stage, Visma\u2019s hopes of influencing the
\nGC ended on the climbs. \u201cBoth Olav Kooij and Matthew Brennan gave it their all
\nin the breakaway, but unfortunately, the group never got much space from the
\npeloton,\u201d the team reported. \u201cIt proved impossible for them to survive the
\nfinal climbs of the day. Menno and Attila also put in a good effort in the
\nfinal group, but there wasn\u2019t much more they could do today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brennan capped the week with an impressive eleventh place in
\nthe closing time trial, as he continues to establish himself as one of the most
\nexciting prospects in cycling. \u201cMatthew was aiming for a good result today, and
\nhe succeeded,\u201d said sports director Jesper M\u00f8rk\u00f8v. \u201cTechnically, it was a very
\nstrong performance. Putting in such a strong time trial on the seventh day of a
\nWorldTour stage race is another great step in his development. He can be proud
\nof this.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For M\u00f8rk\u00f8v, the week ticked the boxes the team had set
\nbefore the race. \u201cIt\u2019s been a great seven days for the team. With Olav and
\nMatthew, we achieved two great stage victories. These were achieved through
\ngood teamwork. We can be satisfied with that as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kooij\u2019s win continued a remarkable streak, it was his fourth
\nconsecutive year winning a stage in Poland. \u201cThat\u2019s special, of course,\u201d M\u00f8rk\u00f8v
\nsaid. \u201cOlav also rode strongly in the penultimate stage, with a lot of
\nclimbing. This week is a great stepping stone for him towards the rest of his
\nseason. We\u2019re all looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2025 Tour de Pologne came to a close on Sunday with Brandon McNulty sealing the overall victory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-60095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
