Nova Gorica/Goriška Brda – The famous road cycling race Giro d’Italia returned to Slovenia after 17 years, as Sunday’s 15th stage from Grado to Gorizia also made a turn to Slovenia’s picturesque wine-growing region of Brda and the city of Nova Gorica this afternoon.

This was the sixth time that the Grand Tour race passed through Slovenia, after 1922, 1971, 1994, 2001 and 2004.
