The 29th Tour of Slovenia, the country's biggest road cycling event, kicks off in Celje on 14 June. The five-day race will not feature the No. 1 rider in the world, Slovenia's Tadej Pogačar, but the pool of favourites will be bigger than in recent years.

The two-time Tour de France winner won the race with a solo attack in the last twenty kilometres on the 274-kilometre race to finish 17 seconds ahead of last year's winner Mathieu van der Poel.

Tadej Pogačar and Primož Roglič switched places to secure the titles of two elite UCI World Tour stage races for a second year in a row on 12 March. Tadej Pogačar took the overall title in his Paris-Nice debut as Primož Roglič won Tirreno-Adriatico.

Slovenians Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) & Matej Mohorič (Bahrain-Victorious) went head-to-head for a stage victory, Tadej was faster and he took his second stage on the Slovenian tour. He’s also the overall winner.

Tadej Pogačar will take the green jersey to Novo mesto, but the victory on the queen mountain stage goes to Rafal Majka (both UAE Team Emirates).
