Komenda will once again be the centre of the cycling world, this time just days after the end of the Tour.

Tadej Pogačar, the Slovenian cyclist who recently finished the Tour de France, will visit his hometown of Komenda for a three-day cycling event called Pogi Challenge. The event, which runs from July 31 to August 2, includes races for both elite cyclists and recreational riders, family-friendly activities, and a concert by Magnifica. It also features a unique challenge called 'S Klanca v klanc,' where participants attempt to outpace Pogačar on a hill climb route from Komenda to Krvavec Beach. This year’s event combines two successful past initiatives: the Kriterij Tadeja Pogačarja race and the 'S Klanca v klanc' challenge. Additionally, a charity auction of Pogačar’s personal items has already started on the website pogichallenge.com, with proceeds going to the Tadej Pogačar Foundation, which recently donated €100,000 to the town of Komenda to assist residents affected by severe flooding.

And let anyone criticize him because he is not a tax resident of Slovenia: he suffers after a devastating storm with generous help!

In early June 2026, the villages of Nasovče, Breg, Potok, parts of Komenda, and Klanec were severely affected by a powerful storm accompanied by tornadoes, strong winds, hail, and heavy rainfall. According to the Rescue Services Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, over 150 buildings were damaged, with initial estimates of damages exceeding ten million euros.

The Tadej Pogačar Foundation, established to assist children and young people with serious illnesses and their families, announced a donation of 100,000 euros to aid in the reconstruction of homes for those whose properties were damaged. This is the largest single contribution made by the foundation to date.

Storms with floods and landslides in northern Italy

The article reports on severe flooding and earthflows occurring in northern Italy, highlighting the impact of these natural disasters on the region. The situation appears to be exacerbated by heavy rainfall and possibly climate-related factors. Local authorities are likely dealing with emergency response efforts, including rescue operations and infrastructure damage assessments. While the article does not provide specific details on casualties or economic losses, it underscores the growing challenges posed by extreme weather events in the area.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual report on environmental conditions without overtly taking a political stance. It focuses on the immediate effects of natural disasters rather than attributing them to specific policies or political groups. As such, the framing remains balanced and neutral.
