Slovenia, albeit small in size, currently belongs among the strongest cycling nations in the world. And so it's no surprise that they were able to secure the maximum possible of available Olympic Games slots. The four riders set to represent in Paris are yet to be decided, however the list with likely options is very short.
Ideally, the Slovenian coach would like to bring Tadej Pogacar, Primoz Roglic, Matej Mohoric and Jan Tratnik. However whether all the riders will agree to participate remains to be seen as all of them have really busy schedules - Tratnik and Pogacar are already competing at their second Grand Tour of 2024, for example.

Iz tabora @rogla sporočajo, da olimpijski prvak iz Tokia ni zavrnil nastopa na igrah v @Paris2024. Dogovorjeno je, da se o nastopu (samo na cestni dirki) dogovorijo po #TDF2024, ko bo jasno, v kakšnem stanju bo zaključil Tour. Vrata so še odprta, ekipa se še lahko spremeni.
