Last Saturday, Portorož Airport hostedthe 2nd Piran Municipality Grand Prix, which, organized by the Rog Ljubljana Cycling Club, once again confirmed its status as one of the most attractive cycling events for young people in the region.

The event, which combines an international race with the Slovenian Cup race, attracted numerous promising cyclists from Slovenia and abroad to the starting line. From the very first laps, we witnessed exceptionally dynamic racing, numerous attacks, and a battle for every meter, which created an excellent atmosphere along the course.

The runway at Portorož has once again proven to be the ideal venue—safe, fast, and easy to navigate, making for exciting and tactically challenging races.
