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.
