Dylan Groenewegen won the second stage of the Tour of Slovenia. He took his fifth win of the season in Rogaška Slatina.
"I was able to get through the hill zone, thanks to my teammates. Then we made, together with the men of Bahrain Victorious. We had a perfect timing today, but I was caught before the last turn by the men of Bahrain Victorious," the Dutchman described. The run-up to the sprint wasn't perfect, but Luka made a very smart move by making some space for me. That way I could follow other riders and there was room to sprint," he said.
From there on the Team BikeExchange - Jayco rider managed to do his sprint properly, with little competition in the way of the win.
"It's a pity Merlier wasn't there, I like to compete against the fastest sprinters, But with Ackermann, there was another fast man in the race," he concluded. Groenewegen rode to victory in the sprint defeating Pascal Ackermann and Lionel Taminiaux.

- It's weird to say Evenepoel would be making a "serious mistake by adding the 2027 Giro d'Italia to his calendar, warning that such a decision could even be interpreted as a lack of confidence in his ability to win the Tour de France." It may well be a mistake but with so many commentators (of all sorts) continuously claiming almost everything Remco does as being a mistake, almost nobody should care what the pundits and the disparagers should say. His team may not want him to do the Giro, and that matters. But it's possibly or probably up to Remco to decide and it may not have to be decided on until a month or so ahead of the race. Yes , Remco is inconsistent much like the majority of the best riders but he's enjoying a period of not having been recently injured (or sick). Whatever he does he need not be concerned with critics who will second guess any perceived failure no matter what. I suspect he will have enough other races on his schedule so he won't be considering it. But the worst reason to not race it is because of what some will say - humorous that be.Yepperoni04-11-2026

- Every great cyclist has at least two Giro/Tour doubles, and in modern cycling or what we call modern cycling, Miguel Indurain is the only guy to do it twice. I think Tadej should go for it and commit if he is putting up good numbers somewhere around January/February.awp04-11-2026
- the 6th TDF is a more record breaking opportunity than a 2nd Giro. Jonas can double up. For Remco its TDF. For Sexias it will be a good opportunity but as usual TDF will be his main goal For del Toro, yes good opportunityabstractengineer04-11-2026
