Britain's Matthew Brennan (Team Visma–Lease a Bike) sprinted to victory on stage 5 of the Tour de Pologne, claiming his first victory of the race ahead of compatriot Ben Turner (Team Ineos Grenadiers) in a fast finish in Zakopane. Despite a climb in the final 20km, the stage came down to a reduced bunch sprint on the uphill drag to the line, and though he launched early with over 200m to go, Brennan held on to win by two bikelengths.
Turner pushed him all the way to the line, but the stage 2 winner had to settle for second, whilst Andrea Bagioli (Lidl-Trek) finished third.
