Overall standings reshuffled after the second stage.

No surprises at the Tour de Pologne. The 15.4km individual time trial held over a mainly uphill course, dealt a blow to many of the yellow jersey favourites, as it widened the gaps that were minimal following the opening stage, held in Karpacz, which also served as location of this hard test against the clock.

Pepijn Reinderink ended up being the best finisher of Soudal Quick-Step, after a consistent ride which saw the 22-year-old neo-pro average 35km/h and him stop the clock in 25:24. The victory went to Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates), while Jonas Vingegaards (Visma-Lease a Bike) took over the yellow jersey.

Held between Wałbrzych and Duszniki-Zdrój, stage three of the Tour de Pologne will represent another opportunity for the GC contenders, especially those who have lost time on Tuesday, to return in the fight for victory. The course, although not a long one, is peppered with four classified climbs and a punchy finish should bring different types of riders into the picture.
