Filippo Baroncini was the one rider from UAE Team Emirates-XRG's 2025 Tour de Pologne line-up who was unable to witness team leader Brandon McNulty claim both the stage and the overall win in the Wieliczka time trial on Sunday, but the young Italian rider could not have been more present in spirit all the same.

Baroncini suffered multiple facial and vertebral fractures in a dramatic high-speed crash on stage 3 of the Tour de Pologne and is currently in an induced coma in Wroclaw hospital, although UAE team sources confirmed he will be flown later today [Sunday] back to Italy to continue his recovery nearer home.
