The Slovenian national road cycling champions in the elite category are Roman Ermakov (Bahrain - Victorious) and Nika Bobnar (Nexetis). Due to extreme heat, race organizers shortened the course in Gabr according to UCI protocols, with men racing 143 kilometers and women 77 kilometers. Bobnar won her second national title after the injured Urška Žigart was absent, while Ermakov surprised competitors with an early attack. Ermakov, a naturalized Russian citizen, expressed pride in wearing the Slovenian flag during his victory. The Bahrain - Victorious team had strong representation but lacked Matej Mohorič due to illness. Primož Roglič and Domen Novak formed an alliance but were outpaced by Ermakov.
