The Pogi Team excelled at the Italian Orsago-Col Alt Races and the 24th BRUNO ORIOLI MEMORIAL

The excitement and passion of cycling came together again on Sunday when the young talents of the Pogi Team competed in the prestigious Italian races Orsago-Col Alt and the 24° MEMORIAL BRUNO ORIOLI. The events brought interesting and exciting moments for the team, who proudly represented their colors with their achievements.

In the Orsago-Col Alt race, the older juniors showed their cycling skills. The course of this race included 11 flat laps before the riders had to face the challenge of the 10km climb to the Col Alt. In the Pogi Team, Gašper Klanjšček excelled, winning an exceptional third place. His success was the result of hard work and perseverance. Gašper Kokalj also deserves congratulations for his 11th place in this challenging race.

On the other hand, younger juniors participated in the 24° MEMORIAL BRUNO ORIOLI race, which was 80 kilometers long and included 7 challenging laps. Unfortunately, the team was already affected by defects at the beginning of the race, due to which Ebner and Hamun had to miss the race. Nevertheless, the rest of the team kept their cool and controlled the race situation, staying at the front.

The winner was decided in a spectacular group sprint. Bastian Petrič seemed perfectly placed to win with a few meters to go, but a dangerous contact with another rider resulted in him dropping out of the fight for the top spots. Nevertheless, the team could be proud of its achievements. Jakob Šlibar took fifth place, while Matic Vintar finished in eighth place.

The results of both races offered an insight into the potential and effort of the young Pogi Team riders. Despite the obstacles on the road, they stayed together, they fought until the last meter, which is a clear proof of their cycling talent and strong team spirit. The future looks bright for this promising team as they continue to work hard and improve their performance in the upcoming races.

TADEJ POGAČAR HELPS TO ELIMINATE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS

V zadnjem mesecu smo bili priča uničujočim poplavam, ki so prizadele nekatera območja naše Slovenije. Vabim vas, da se mi pridružite 23.avgusta ob 18.uri na Kongresnem trgu v Ljubljani, kjer bom z veseljem delil avtograme in se fotografiral z vami. ✍️🤳 Za vsako fotografijo in podpis bom doniral 10 evrov v dobrodelne namene za odpravljanje škode in pomoč prizadetim v poplavah. Ne glede na vaše število bomo skupaj donirali najmanj 10.000 evrov.

I am already looking forward to meeting you all in Ljubljana. Thank you.

On Wednesday, on the congress square in Ljubljana, we experienced an extraordinary event that united the hearts of all the inhabitants of Slovenia. Sport has an extraordinary unifying power, which we once again felt on this occasion. But the event was not only sporting in nature, but also demonstrated deep philanthropy.

Tadej Pogačar, an outstanding cyclist and proud ambassador of our country, stepped into the forefront of charity. With his unique approach, he gathered 1,793 signatures and 1,214 photos, and topped it all off with a donation of 10,000 euros. This wonderful sum of 30,000 euros will be dedicated to those who find themselves in difficult life situations. This is true proof that sport can achieve more than just winning competitions, but also has the power to change lives for the better.

We are also pleased with the contribution of the fans who showed their charitable heart. They collected an extraordinary 7,484.01 euros, which will also be used for those who need help. This awareness that together we can be part of something bigger and more important fills us with pride.

Sincere thanks go to Tadej Pogačar, who showed with his generosity and inclusive approach how sports passion can transcend the limits of competition. We would also like to thank all those who, despite the heat, patiently lined up yesterday to become part of this unforgettable story. Together, we created a priceless mosaic of a beautiful event that will live in our hearts for a long time.

Koelsar race 47° GRAN PREMIO SPORTIVI DI POGGIANA, which took place on August 13, brought plenty of tension and action on Italian roads. The Continental Cycling Team Ljubljana Gusto Santic decided to represent the colors of the club at this prestigious test, which took place over a distance of 164 kilometers.

The race brought unexpected developments and problems that required a lot of tactical thinking and physical strength. The cyclists faced various challenges on the road, but this time victory was not meant for them.

As Fabijan KRALJ, one of the team members, said: "It was not our day in Italy, but you try to learn from the mistakes you have made and you go on." This kind of response to challenge is key to maintaining a positive attitude. We can learn a lot from every failure and grow as athletes and individuals. The team members will not let themselves be intimidated, but will continue to train and prepare for the upcoming races.

Jernej HRIBAR, another member of the team, added: "Despite our efforts on the race, circumstances got the better of us. It's important to stay focused and motivated for the upcoming races.” The sport of cycling is known for its unpredictability, so ups and downs are an integral part of this discipline. Each race brings new experiences that help to grow both the physical and mental strength of the cyclists.

The atmosphere among the team members remained positive and encouraging, despite the setback. Continental Cycling Team Ljubljana Gusto Santic showed unity and dedication to her goals. Their efforts were not in vain, as they gained invaluable experience that will help them in future races.
