The Tour of Slovenia returned to the hills today, and the overwhelming favourite Tadej Pogacar has made the difference on a complicated day, winning the stage and taking over the race lead.
The 144-kilometer long route into Celje was marked by the ascent to Svetina where Pogacar attacked and distanced the competition. He was joined by Rafal Majka later on, and Nicola Conci who flew down the technical descent where the UAE riders struggled. In the final hilltop finish though, Pogacar didn't struggle to assert his dominance and took the win, with Majka and Conci completing the Top3.

- I didn't know there was a problem in Italian cycling. Sure, there hasn't been an Italian win a grand tour in recent years, but if we are using that as a metric, then every country in the world other than Slovenia and Denmark are in big trouble!Pogboom26-11-2024

- Here he is again, giving real answers! Love it. As a fan, I had not really paid attention but agree with what he says. Between Pogacar and van der Poel, with their attacks from 50k and more, the racing is simply different. At the grand tours, it's that kind of attacking every day, as well (e.g., even when he didn't want to, other teams goaded Pogacar into racing for the win at the Tour). I can imagine how hard that is for a rider, but for me as a fan it's certainly a lot of fun to watch.RidesHills25-11-2024
- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024
