Linda Zanetti won the second stage of the Tour de Pologne Women, starting and finishing in Chelm. The Ticino athlete from Uno X imposed herself after 100 kilometers of racing, beating in the sprint French rider Marie Le Net (FDJ - SUEZ) and Sofia Bertizzolo (UAE Team ADQ). Chiara Consonni finished eighth and maintains the leadership jersey with a 5" advantage over the Swiss rider and 10" over Le Net.

Midway through the stage, Sabrina Stultiens (VolkerWessels Cycling Team) broke away from the group, gaining a maximum advantage of about forty seconds before being caught by the peloton with forty kilometers to go.

Chiara Consonni, leader of the general and points classifications, convincingly won the intermediate sprint with bonus seconds ahead of Copponi (Lidl Trek) and Hesters (Liv AlUla Jayco Women's Continental). Several attacks followed by Federica Venturelli (UAE Team ADQ), Vittoria Guazzini (FDJ – SUEZ), joined by Francesca Pellegrini (UAE Team ADQ), Sarah Roy (EF Education-Oatly), Babette van der Wolf (EF Education-Oatly), Australian champion Lucinda Stewart (Liv AlUla Jayco Women's Continental), Felicity Wilson-Haffenden (Lidl – Trek), Lauren Molengraaf (FDJ – SUEZ), Anne Dorthe Ysland (Uno-X Mobility) and about ten other athletes.

From the large breakaway group, Bergamo native Pellegrini attacked with 15 kilometers to go, riding solo in front of everyone until 1800 meters from the finish line when the group came back together before the slightly uphill sprint on the pavé that sealed Linda Zanetti's victory, her sixth career win. Tomorrow is the final stage of the Polish race: 128 kilometers between Naleczow and Krasnik.
