Axel Laurance put in an impressive ride to third place on a tough uphill finale to stage four at the Tour de Pologne.
The Netcompany INEOS rider timed his effort well to burst out of the pack and cross the line in Karpacz, 14 seconds back on a breakaway lead duo.
The team worked well to set the tempo on the approach to the climb, before a breakaway group pushed clear on the first-category ascent.
Bart Lemmen (Visma | Lease a Bike) claimed the win, holding off Christian Scaroni (XDS Astana) at the line.
Laurance out-sprinted Marco Brenner (Tudor) in the next group home, with teammates Magnus Sheffield and Michal Kwiatkowski finishing in a larger group, 21 seconds back. The duo jumped up to 11th and 14th overall, with Lemmen the new race leader.
