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.
