The Third Ljubljana Cyclocross: Unforgettable Cycling Spectacle in Stožice and the awarding of the Golden Horn Bicycle

Yesterday, in the heart of Ljubljana, we witnessed the third cyclocross, which took place in the wonderful surroundings of Stožice. The event, which started at 11 a.m., impressed both the competitors and the spectators, who experienced a superb cycling spectacle.

The competition included various categories, from the youngest to experienced cyclists, and attracted many cycling fans. Despite the winter conditions, the male and female competitors competed on a demanding course, full of challenges and adrenaline.

Among the members, the top step was won by the experienced Anže Ravbar, who beat strong competition with his tactical driving and perseverance. Nika Bobnar shone among the members, showed excellent form and deservedly earned first place.

Among the older juniors, Gašper Štajnar emerged as the winner, while the fastest among the younger juniors was Maj Bohak. With her outstanding performance, Eva Terpin won first place both among juniors and overall.

In the youngest category, Miha Dakskobler showed his speed among the A boys, Urban Dejak was the fastest among the B boys, and Nej Stojičevič among the C boys. Among the girls, Neža Utranker celebrated the victory.

In addition to the atmosphere of competitive spirit, the event was also special because of the awarding of the golden bicycle. Urša Pintar, Gal Glivar and Tadej Pogačar received prestigious awards for their high rankings in the international UCI rankings. A special golden bike went to Tone Fornezzi Tof, who was awarded for his life's work and invaluable influence on the development of Slovenian cycling.

The third Cyclocross Ljubljana thus left an indelible mark in the world of cycling, and at the same time it was an excellent opportunity to socialize and get excited about the top sport. 

The Rog Cycling Association sincerely thanks all the competitors for their participation, the spectators who came to support the competitors, and the loyal sponsors who made it possible for the event to take place. Without your passionate support and generosity, we would not be able to enjoy such an outstanding cycling event. Thank you all!
