The Ljubljana Gusto Santic team competed in the Tour of Slovenia

The 2024 Tour of Slovenia, also known as the Tour of Slovenia, once again offered exciting stages and high-quality international participation. The fifth stage, which ran from Šentjernej to Novo Mesto, was particularly interesting, as the cyclists competed in a fast finish, which ultimately brought victory to Ben Healy from the EF Education – EasyPost team.

The Ljubljana Gusto Santic team, representing Slovenia, had mixed success in this stage. The best result was achieved by Dylan Hopkins, who finished the stage in 56th place, 5 minutes and 34 seconds behind the winner. Natan Gregorčič finished 12 minutes and 28 seconds behind the leaders, while Andy Sampson and Viktor Potočki had the same gap of 12 minutes and 36 seconds. Mihael Štajnar and Li Ting Wei finished the stage slightly behind their teammates.

In the overall standings (GC), Mihael Štajnar is the highest-ranked member of the Ljubljana Gusto Santic team, in 87th place, 42 minutes and 56 seconds behind the leader. Dylan Hopkins and Natan Gregorčič also fought hard, but their deficits indicate the difficulties they faced during the race.

The Tour of Slovenia is known for its difficulty and speed, but also for giving smaller teams the opportunity to prove themselves on the international stage. Even though the results may not be what the team would have liked, every experience is valuable, especially in such a prestigious race as the Tour of Slovenia.
