Pogi Team Gusto Ljubljana, with a new name and a major change for the new season

Our family is growing year by year. The Pogi Team, which works with young people, has been renamed Piko Team, and now we are happy to announce that in the 2025 season we will also experience changes in our member team. The first is in the name. This year you will recognize us under the name Go Team Gusto Ljubljana. With this move, we will ensure even greater recognition in the world of cycling. In addition, with this renaming, we are also clearly sending a message to the young people in our youth that they do not have to worry about the future and that we can offer them the opportunity to continue their careers in the junior category. Next season, we will have 15 cyclists in the member team. Even the best cyclist in the world, Tadej Pogačar, moved to the junior members with our help and on this occasion he said: “At first, for a few years, Pogi Team was only for the youngest and up to and including older juniors. Now this is also being transferred to the continental U23 and member team.” You can also watch the full statement on our YouTube channel and social networks.
