Tight battles in cycling races: Seniors win Coppa Montes, juniors prove themselves at Strade Fiumane

On April 25, senior youth traditionally took part in the 68th edition of the prestigious Coppa Montes bicycle race in Italy. Jenko Tine excelled with some time on the run, but Marcel Skok achieved the best finish for Pogi Team UAE Generali in 33rd place.

The juniors competed in the Strade Fiumane race, which proved to be extremely challenging due to the rainy weather and macadam sections, which was reflected in many falls. Despite this, our riders achieved good rankings without serious injuries. Among the four escapees, Jakob Šlibar was looking forward to 3rd place, while Žan Lopatič achieved 5th place in the main sprint, and Žiga Stare finished the race right behind him in 6th place.

POGI FRIENDS – MILAN SAN REMO

The fan group "Pogi Friends" successfully passed their journey.

Before the start of the race Milan - San Remo (2023) we also drove along the route of the famous Milano San Remo monument and drove both climbs, where our boys were gritting their teeth. First the climb to Cipresso and then to the famous Poggio. We hoisted the flags, painted the floor and loudly encouraged our Tadej and of course all the other boys who were part of this wonderful 300km race.

Already at the start, there was a fall where our Nikolaj fell and damaged the bike so much that unfortunately he could no longer continue. The riders of the Borgo molino team ensured a very fast pace at the beginning of the race, and already in the first lap out of 12, 4 riders of this team and one of the Work service team escaped. The fugitives continued in unison until the last lap, after which they were caught by a group of about 20 cyclists who then competed against each other in a sprint for the win.

In the first group, our best Domen Oblak finished in 18th place, while in the second group, Jakub Husar, Gašper Klanjšček and Gašper Kokalj also finished 30 seconds behind. Matevž Zajc retired in the third round due to a fall.
