Traditional closing ceremony at Rog Picnic in the club premises below Šmarna Gora

Cyclists appreciate hard work and passion for cycling, so it is not surprising that every year they traditionally gather at the Rog Picnic to conclude a successful cycling season together. This year was no different, as cyclists once again gathered to enjoy good food, refreshing drinks, and plenty of laughter and fun. The 2023 season was exceptional, and the conclusion at Rogovo was the perfect way to thank their colleagues and recognize the best for their achievements.

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

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 24° MEMORIAL BRUNO ORIOLI. The events brought interesting and exciting moments for the team, which proudly represented its colors with its achievements.

At the Orsago-Col Alt race, older juniors showed off their cycling skills. The route of this race included 11 flat laps, after which the cyclists had to face the challenge of a 10-kilometer climb to Col Alt. Gašper Klanjšček proved himself in the Pogi Team, winning an impressive third place. His success was the result of hard work and perseverance. Gašper Kokalj also deserves congratulations for his 11th place finish in this demanding race.

On the other hand, younger juniors participated in the 24° MEMORIAL BRUNO ORIOLI race, which was 80 kilometers long and included seven demanding laps. Unfortunately, the team was affected by punctures at the start of the race, which forced Ebner and Hamun to drop out. Nevertheless, the remaining team members kept their cool and controlled the situation in the race, staying in the lead.

The winner was decided in a spectacular group sprint. With just a few meters to go, Bastian Petrič seemed perfectly positioned to win, but a dangerous collision with another cyclist knocked him out of contention for the top spots. Nevertheless, the team could be proud of their achievements. Jakob Šlibar took fifth place, while Matic Vintar finished in eighth place.

The results of both races provided insight into the potential and efforts of the young cyclists of the Pogi Team. Despite obstacles on the road, they remained focused and fought until the very last meter, which is clear proof of their cycling talent and strong team spirit. A bright future lies ahead for this promising team, as they will continue to work hard and improve their performance in upcoming races.
