Successful performance by younger juniors at the demanding Julium Classic race in Italy – Gal Klun finishes in an excellent fifth place

On June 2, 2025, the younger juniors competed in the Julium Classic race in Zuglio, Italy. The race consisted of 64 km of flat laps and a 4 km climb with an average gradient of 12%. On the flat section, our cyclists allowed a breakaway, which they controlled until the start of the climb. Before the climb, they were one minute behind the breakaway group, which created an excellent starting position for Gala Klun. On the climb, they were the fastest from the peloton to catch most of the breakaway riders, with only the Italian D'Aiuto remaining in the lead, who ultimately won the stage. Among our riders, Gal Klun was the strongest and finished 5th on the climb, 58 seconds behind.

Senior juniors race in Italy – Giro di Primavera (1.1)

At the end of a tough week of competition, the older juniors of the Pogi Team performed excellently. At the Giro di Primavera in San Vendemiano, Italy, they raced competitively and achieved excellent results. First, they completed five flat laps around the city, followed by six hilly laps, where Vanja Kuntaric Žibert quickly found himself in the lead. Together with the breakaway riders, they competed until the last lap. Then there were a series of attacks, and a pair of cyclists found themselves in the lead, cycling 20 kilometers to the finish line. Vanja fell just short of joining the front of the race, then continued the race with two other cyclists. He did not shine in the sprint of the trio, but still finished fifth (first among those born in 2008). He also shone on the mountain stages, where he was not far from overall victory. The success was complemented by Luka Maksimovič in 20th and Bor Ebner in 25th place.
