Last weekend, Idrija hosted the 12th International 3-Stage Cycling Race, the Idrija Grand Prix, where young cyclists competed in three diverse stages—a mountain climb, a time trial, and a criterium through the city streets. The race offered an exciting and dynamic competition, in which our riders demonstrated competitive riding and excellent results.
The first stage was a grueling mountain challenge that weeded out some of the competitors right from the start.

The race in Idrija once again demonstrated how important stage races are for the development of young cyclists—from climbing and individual time trials to tactical racing in criteriums.
Throughout all three stages, the team demonstrated exceptional determination, team spirit, and consistent results. We’re proud of all the guys and their performances!
On May 10, the older juniors competed in the Maggio Fiaschettano race. The race consisted of 12 laps, covering 80 km with approximately 1,400 meters of elevation gain. The boys put up a great fight and kept the race under control the entire time. In the penultimate lap, a small group broke away on the climb and maintained their lead all the way to the finish. In the sprint of this group, Max Manik was best positioned and finished in 6th place.
Štajnar Wins the Tour of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Our Pogi Team Gusto Ljubljana member, Mihael Štajnar, is the winner of the first cycling race in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He won the three-stage race with a two-second lead over Poland’s Jakub Kaczmarek, while the Dutch rider Lars Quaedvlieg finished third (+5 s).
Štajnar built a decisive lead in the second stage and held onto it confidently all the way to the finish line in Neum.
