Tadej Pogačar, Urška Žigart, and Gal Glivar were awarded the Golden Rog Bike for 2024, which KD Rog has been awarding since 1982. At yesterday's event at the Grand Hotel Plaza in Ljubljana, in addition to the award ceremony, we also celebrated the 75th anniversary of the largest cycling club in Slovenia.
For three quarters of a century, the Rog Ljubljana Cycling Club has been establishing itself as a cradle for young and talented cyclists. With its rich history and tradition, the club has trained numerous top cyclists and won medals at world championships and Olympic Games. The club is particularly proud of the successes achieved by former member Tadej Pogačar over the past five years. His support for young people in the Poga Team has attracted many young people and raised interest in cycling in Slovenia.
The Rog Cycling Club strives to be not just a sports club, but also a school for life, where young people learn the importance of healthy habits and hard work through sport. The club includes the Ljubljana Gusto Santic men's continental team, the BTC City Scott Ljubljana women's youth team, the BTC City Ljubljana Zhiraf Ambedo senior continental team, and the Pogi Team UAE Generali children's and youth team.
For decades, the Rog Cycling Club has also proven itself to be an excellent organizer of cycling races and events, with @maratonfranja_btc_city standing out as the largest Slovenian cycling event for amateur and recreational cyclists.
