Tour de Pologne Standings 2023

See KK'S PRIEST Perform In Kraków, Poland During Summer 2024 European Tour

Fan-filmed video of KK'S PRIEST 's July 13 concert at Kwadrat in Kraków, Poland can be seen below.

According to Setlist.fm , the setlist for the show was as follows:

01. Hellfire Thunderbolt 02. Strike Of The Viper 03. One More Shot At Glory 04. The Ripper (JUDAS PRIEST song) 05. Reap The Whirlwind 06. Night Crawler (JUDAS PRIEST song) 07. Sermons Of The Sinner 08. Burn In Hell (JUDAS PRIEST song) 09. Beyond The Realms Of Death (JUDAS PRIEST song) 10. Hell Patrol (Judas Priest cover) 11. The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown) (FLEETWOOD MAC cover) 12. Breaking The Law (JUDAS PRIEST song) 13. Victim Of Changes (JUDAS PRIEST song)

14. Raise Your Fists

As previously reported, KK'S PRIEST , which features former JUDAS PRIEST members K.K. Downing (guitar) and Tim "Ripper" Owens (vocals),alongside guitarist A.J. Mills ( HOSTILE ),bassist Tony Newton ( VOODOO SIX ) and drummer Sean Elg ( DEATHRIDERS , CAGE ),and German/American metal legends ACCEPT will join forces this fall 2024 for a North American tour. Both bands are touring in support of their brand new albums, out now via Napalm Records .

The massive run will begin on August 31 in Los Angeles, California, visiting a slew of major cities in the USA and Canada — such as Toronto, Montreal, New York and Nashville — before coming to an end in San Francisco, California on October 7.

KK'S PRIEST 's first-ever U.S. headlining tour, which featured support from L.A. GUNS and BURNING WITCHES , kicked off on March 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and concluded on March 24 at Keswick Theatre in Glenside, Pennsylvania.

KK'S PRIEST 's sophomore album, "The Sinner Rides Again" , came out in September 2023 via the Austrian label Napalm Records .

KK'S PRIEST made its live debut on July 6, 2023 at Downing's KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom.

K.K. formed KK'S PRIEST after JUDAS PRIEST turned down his offer to rejoin the band for their 50th-anniversary tour. It followed a couple of celebrated stage appearances, first with former MANOWAR guitarist Ross The Boss in the summer of 2019, then with a one-off lineup that included former MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson and former PRIEST drummer Les Binks later that year.

KK'S PRIEST released its debut album, "Sermons Of The Sinner" , in October 2021 via Explorer1 Music Group / EX1 Records .

Downing spent four months writing and recording "Sermons Of The Sinner" and, along with new ideas, he even resurrected a few archived riffs from the 1980s.

Downing was reunited with JUDAS PRIEST for a performance at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony in November 2022 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

PRIEST received the Musical Excellence Award at the event, which honored Eminem , Dolly Parton , DURAN DURAN , Lionel Richie , Pat Benatar , EURYTHMICS and Carly Simon in the Performers category.

Downing left PRIEST in 2011 amid claims of band conflict, shoddy management and declining quality of performance. He was replaced by Richie Faulkner , nearly three decades his junior.

In 2019, Downing said that he reached out to JUDAS PRIEST about taking part in the band's 50th-anniversary tour but that their response was that they were not interested in including him in the celebrations.

In 2018, Downing revealed that he sent two resignation letters to his bandmates when he decided to quit JUDAS PRIEST . The first was described as "a graceful exit note, implying a smooth retirement from music," while the second was "angrier, laying out all of his frustrations with specific parties."

Downing later said that he believed the second letter was "a key reason" he wasn't invited to rejoin PRIEST after Glenn Tipton 's decision to retire from touring.

Owens joined PRIEST in 1996 and recorded two studio albums with the band — 1997's "Jugulator" and 2001's "Demolition" — before PRIEST reunited with Rob Halford in 2003.

Tour de France stage 20 Live - The peloton tackles a final day in the mountains

Tour de pologne 2024 route.

• Stage 2 ITT

Stage 1: Wrocław-Karpacz, 159.3km

The opening day of the 2024 Tour de Pologne starts in Wrocław and immediately tests the overall contenders, heading over an undulating route west and finishing on a steep climb to Orlinek in Karpacz, on the border of Czechia.

The 159.3km stage features two intermediate sprints at 46km and 108.2km from the start, two category 2 climbs and two special primes.

• Intermediate sprint, km. 46
• Cat. 3 climb, km. 56.5
• Special sprint, km. 74.7
• Intermediate sprint, km. 106.2
• Cat 2 climb, km. 139.8
• Special sprint, km. 155

Stage 2: Mysłakowice-Karpacz (ITT), 15.4km

The time trial, which was held on the penultimate day of racing last year, has been moved to stage 2 and will take place between Mysłakowice and Karpacz. At 15.4km in length, it might not make the biggest difference for the GC but a constant false-flat uphill from start to finish will benefit the more powerful time trialists.

• Check 1, km. 2.4
• Check 2, km. 5.9
• Check 3, km. 9.2

Stage 3: Wałbrzych-Duszniki-Zdrój, 156.5km

Moving to the east from Karpacz, stage 3 begins in Wałbrzych and passes on to east of Czechia, hitting four categorised climbs along the way before a steep uphill finish in the spa town of Duszniki-Zdrój.

• Cat. 2 climb, km. 28.9
• Intermediate sprint, km. 39.6
• Cat. 2 climb, km. 50.9
• Cat. 2 climb, km. 67.6
• Cat. 2 climb, km. 94.1

Stage 4: Kudowa-Zdrój-Prudnik, 195.3km

Stage 4 will cover quite hilly terrain from Kudowa-Zdrój to Prudnik with three sprint bonuses in Bystrzyca Kłodzka, Ząbkowice Śląskie, and Otmuchów and a testing climb of the Jaworowa Pass. The profile levels out in the second half of the stage, allowing the sprinters a chance to get back into contention. The stage is dedicated to Stanisław Szozda, an Olympic and World Championship medalist and past winner of the Tour de Pologne who was born in Prudnik.

• Intermediate sprint, km. 42.5
• Cat. 2 climb, km. 76.8
• Special sprint, km. 95
• Intermediate sprint, km. 104.5
• Intermediate sprint, km. 147.1

Stage 5: Katowice-Katowice, 187.6km

Stage 5 will start and finish in Katowice, the capital of the Silesian province, and a regular host for the WorldTour race. There is undulating terrain in the area, which will pass through Mysłowice, Jaworzno, Rabsztyn, Pieskowa Skała, and Ojców.

With a constantly up and down route, this stage is a death by a thousand cuts rather than a killing blow.

• Intermediate sprint, km 21.4
• Cat. 3 climb, km. 96.6
• Special sprint, km. 139.2
• Intermediate sprint, km. 168.6

Stage 6: Wadowice-Bukovina Resort, km. 183.2

Stage 6 returns to will start in Wadowice, which last hosted a stage in 2022. The route is expected to include the difficult climbs up the Harnaś Wall and the Bukovina Wall on the route, with the finish at Bukovina Resort.

There are two sprints in Jabłonka and Szaflary and three category 1 climbs in Gliczarów Górny and Rzepiska before the feared 'wall'.

• Intermediate sprint, km. 80.4
• Cat. 1 climb, km. 123.5
• Cat. 1 climb, km. 136.5
• Intermediate sprint, km. 160.5
• Cat. 1 climb, km. 171

Stage 7: Wieliczka Salt Mine-Kraków, 152km

The final day of racing will begin in Wieliczka, near a world-famous salt mine, and then enter Kraków from the south, with traditional circuits of Błonia.

• Intermediate sprint, km. 32.4
• Cat. 3 climb, km. 47.4
• Special sprint, km. 111.4
• Special sprint, km. 115.2

81. edycja Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour: Wrocław – Kraków

W środę 17 lipca na antenie TVP Sport została zaprezentowana trasa 81. edycji Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour. Największy kolarski wyścig w tej części Europy ruszy już 12 sierpnia spod Hali Stulecia we Wrocławiu i zakończy się tradycyjnie tydzień później na Błoniach w Krakowie. Do Polski zawita elita światowego kolarstwa, która zagwarantuje sportowe emocje, jednocześnie jadąc przez piękne zakątki naszego kraju.

Już 12 sierpnia Polska stanie się stolicą kolarskiego świata, gdy rozpocznie się 81. edycja Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour. Jest to jedyna impreza w tej części Europy wchodząca w skład UCI World Tour, czyli „kolarskiej ligi mistrzów”. Dzień wcześniej w Hali Stulecia we Wrocławiu odbędzie się oficjalna prezentacja ekip kolarskich.

Dolnośląski tercet

Pierwsze trzy etapy tegorocznego wyścigu odbędą się na Dolnym Śląsku, z dwoma metami na podjeździe Orlinek w Karpaczu. Na inaugurację kolarze ruszą spod Hali Stulecia, a następnego dnia czeka ich 15-kilometrowa czasówka z Mysłakowic. Ostatni etap w tym województwie odbędzie się na trasie Wałbrzych — Duszniki-Zdrój, gdzie przed rokiem triumfował Rafał Majka. Drugi był Matej Mahorić, a trzeci Michał Kwiatkowski.

– Bardzo się cieszę, że Wrocław znalazł się na trasie wyścigu, tym bardziej, że jest to miasto kolarskie. Pochodzi stąd wielu kolarzy, był tu klub Dolmel założony przez Mieczysława Żelaznowskiego, w którym jeździli Ryszard Szurkowski, Henryk Charucki, Jan Faltyn, Jan Brzeźny – wielu mistrzów. Drugi etap to taka cronoscalata (z włoskiego: “wspinaczka na czas”). Pamiętajmy, że tutaj swoją karierę zaczynał wielokrotny triumfator Tour de France, Giro d’Italia czy Vuelta a Espana Alberto Contador, wygrywając jazdę indywidualną na czas – powiedział dyrektor generalny wyścigu Czesław Lang.

Sprinterzy w mieście Szozdy

Środkowa część 81. edycji Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour będzie szansą dla najszybszych zawodników w peletonie na walkę o zwycięstwo. Czwarty etap tegorocznego wyścigu ruszy w Kudowie-Zdrój i zakończy się w Prudniku – rodzinnym mieście legendarnego polskiego kolarza Stanisława Szozdy. W swojej karierze legendarny Szozda został 2-krotnie wicemistrzem olimpijskim, sięgnął po pięć medali mistrzostw świata oraz triumfował w Wyścigu Pokoju i Tour de Pologne.

– Czwarty etap będzie zadedykowany wspaniałemu kolarzowi i mojemu serdecznemu przyjacielowi Stasiowi Szoździe. Ruszamy z Kudowy-Zdroju, ponad 200 kilometrów – myślę, że będzie to etap bardziej sprinterski i cały peleton dojedzie razem – opowiada Czesław Lang.

Piąty etap wystartuje i zakończy się w Katowicach, a większość trasy poprowadzi peleton po „Szlaku Orlich Gniazd”. Pamiętajmy, że wyścig Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour to również promocja polskich regionów, a ten ma wiele do zaoferowania. Po drodze zawodnicy przejadą między innymi przez Jurę Krakowsko-Częstochowską, Mysłowice, Jaworzno, Rabsztyn, Pieskową Skałę czy Ojców.

Małopolski finisz

Dwa ostatnie etapy tegorocznych zmagań odbędą się w Małopolsce. W środę 16 sierpnia kolarze wystartują z Wadowic i będą się ścigać do linii mety wyznaczonej w BUKOVINA Resort.

– Start w Wadowicach – chcemy przypomnieć miasto, w którym urodził się wielki Polak Jan Paweł II, stąd pomysł, żeby wystartować z Wadowic. Przejeżdżamy przez Przełęcz Krowiarki, Szaflary i wjeżdżamy na rundę, którą miłośnicy kolarstwa bardzo dobrze znają. Meta będzie w BUKOVINA Resort, ale wcześniej kolarze dwukrotnie pokonają w Gliczarowie podjazd pod ścianę BUKOVINA. Czeka na nich też ściana HARNAŚ, a finisz będzie w tym samym miejscu, gdzie wygrywali Rafał Majka czy Remco Evenepoel. Ten etap będzie zadedykowany tym, którzy może nie do końca będą usatysfakcjonowani klasyfikacją generalną. Będzie to królewski etap, który może zmienić wszystko – mówił Czesław Lang.

Natomiast finałowy etap 81. edycji Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour rozpocznie się na terenie Kopalni Soli „Wieliczka” i zakończy się już tradycyjnie na Błoniach w Krakowie, gdzie poznamy triumfatorów w poszczególnych klasyfikacjach i zwycięzcę klasyfikacji generalnej ORLEN. Partnerami tego etapu są wieloletni przyjaciele Tour de Pologne UCI World Tour – Kopalnia Soli „Wieliczka” i miasto Kraków.

– Mówimy, że Kraków jest dla Tour de Pologne tym, czym Paryż dla Tour de France i chcemy utrzymać taką tradycję – mówił Czesław Lang.
