How to watch the 2021 Tour de Pologne online from anywhere

Some of the world's best cyclists are heading to Poland this week for the 78th Tour de Pologne and we have all the details on how you can watch the week-long road cycling stage race online.

After being postponed by a month and reduced to five stages last year, the Tour de Pologne is returning to its normal seven-stage format where riders will race from Lublin to Cracow, Poland over the course of the week. Additionally, following Fabio Jakobsen's near-fatal crash into the barriers last year, the Tour de Pologne has completely overhauled its safety standards and will now be using Boplan plastic barriers while helping absorb the impact of crashes to better protect riders.

During the course of the Tour de Pologne, riders will cover a total of 1140km (708m) with Stage 1 covering 216km (134m), Stage 2 covering 201km (124m), Stage 3 covering 226km (140m), Stage 4 covering 1160km (99m), Stage 5 covering 173km (107m), Stage 6 covering 17.9km (11m) and Stage 7 cover 145km (90m). Wednesday's coverage of Stage 4 will certainly be worth tuning in for as riders will make their way through the Tatra Mountains near Poland's Tatra National Park.

Although there are 22 teams and a total of 217 riders participating in this year's Tour de Pologne, Poland's Micha Kwiatkowski, Portugal's Joao Almeida, Belgium's Tim Wellens, Italy's Diego Ulissi and Hungary's Attila Valter are a few worth keeping an eye on during the race.

Whether you're a long-time cycling fan or are just looking for something to watch now that the Tokyo Olympics are over, we'll show you how to watch the 2021 Tour de Pologne from anywhere in the world.

Tour de Pologne - When and where?

The 2021 Tour de Pologne will begin on Monday, August 9 and will conclude on Sunday, August 15.

The route of the race leads from Lublin to Cracow and will pass through both the Bieszczady Mountains and the Tatra Mountains.

We have all the details on how you can watch the Tour de Pologne in the U.S., Canada, the UK and Australia further up in this guide. However, if you want to watch this year's race when you're away from home, then you'll run into problems as your domestic coverage online from abroad will likely be geo-blocked.
