With its rich history and tradition, the club has raised numerous top cyclists and has won medals at world championships and the Olympic Games. The association is particularly proud of the successes achieved by former member Tadej Pogačar in the last five years. His support for the youth in the Pogi Team has attracted many young people and raised interest in cycling in Slovenia.
The Rog Cycling Association strives to be not just a sports club, but also a school for life, where young people learn the importance of healthy habits and hard work through sport. The association is home to the men's continental team Ljubljana Gusto Santic, the women's youth BTC City Scott Ljubljana and the member continental team BTC City Ljubljana Zhiraf Ambedo, as well as the children's and youth team Pogi Team UAE Generali.
