La passerella veloce di Cracovia conclude l'81° Giro di Polonia consegnando ufficialmente a Jonas Vingegaard (Visma Lease a Bike) la vittoria finale, conquistata di fatto nella cronometro di Karpacz martedì. Da par suo Diego Ulissi (UAE) si consola col 2° posto nella generale a 13'' dal danese e con la maglia biancorossa della classifica a punti.
Il vincitore dell'odierna volata finale, al termine di 142,1 km partiti a Wieliczka, è proprio un compagno di Vingegaard: Olav Kooij, che batte il rivale Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) e appena dietro completa il podio Gerben Thijssen, dell'Intermarché Wanty. Il miglior italiano sul traguardo è Alberto Dainese, che col treno Tudor ha provato ad anticipare ma è rimasto per un soffio fuori dalla top-10 precedendo Davide Cimolai della Movistar. Ad animare la giornata era stato invece un quartetto di fuggitivi: Marcin Budzinski (Mazowsze Serce Polski), Remi Cavagna (Movistar), Archie Ryan e Jack Rootkin-Gray della EF, con Ryan e Budzinksi ripresi a soli tre chilometri dall'arrivo.
Il "vero" mattatore di questo Polonia è stato però Thibau Nys, talento belga della Lidl Trek implacabile quando si è trattato di sprintare in salita: tre successi per lui. Il pubblico polacco può esultare infine con la maglia a pois dei GPM vinta da Michal Paluta, tesserato per la Santic Wibatech ma presente a questa corsa con la Nazionale del suo Paese. Ultima notazione: è stata l'ultima gara da corridore per il "trentin-polacco" Cesare Benedetti!
