The younger juniors in the team, Vanja Kuntarič Žibert, Miha Otoničar, Maks Bahar, Matic Vintar, Mauro Mächtig, Žiga Stare, and Tit Stevič, competed in an 83-kilometer race in Pieris, Italy, on Sunday. The first six laps, each about 7 km long, were completed in the vicinity of Pieris, followed by two climbs, to San Martino del Carso and San Michele, where the mountain finish was located. The first major selection was made on the first climb, where four cyclists remained in the lead: Vinter, Kuntarič Žibert, and Meblo jogi cyclists Komel and Olenik. The escapees were also in the lead at the mountain finish, which was won by Vintar. They worked together harmoniously until the last kilometer, when Vintar attacked and won in a solo ride. Vanja took 4th place, Miha Otoničar was fifth, and Mauro Mächtig was 11th.
