The first stage of the 32nd Po Sloveniji race from Velenje to Rogaška Slatina unfolded according to the wishes of the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team, which took full control of the race in the end. The enormous damage was mainly caused by Jan Tratnik, who with a strong pace diluted the group, caught the last runner and prepared the ground for team success. The big winner became Laurence Pithie, the second was his team-mate Arne, and the third was Edoardo Marit Zambanini from Bahrain - Victorious.
The first stage of the 32nd Po Slovenija race from Velenje to Rogaška Slatina unfolded entirely according to the wishes of the Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe team. After 141.6 kilometers of winding route, the big winner was Laurence Pithie, and the team success was completed by Arne Marit with the second place. The third was Edoardo Zambanini from Bahrain Victorious.
The tractor as an express train diluted the bulk
The key part of the stage started in the last 30 kilometres, when Jan Tratnik started cheering at the head of the main pace. The Slovenian cyclist first caught the last runners Axl van der Tuuk and Sam Brand with a sharp rhythm, and then continued to work at the head of the group.
Jan Tratnik has done a great job.
"The team did a great job in the finish, with 30 kilometres to go, Jan had set a high pace and made a selection, and we eliminated a lot of sprinters, and I had a great sprint assistant in the finish", said the New Zealander.
The winner looked to the year 2023
Pithie also revealed that Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe had studied the 2023 finish well. "Yesterday I watched the year 2023, when Dylan Groenewegen won. That's why we decided to get rid of the classic sprinters earlier. And we managed to do it", added the first leader of this year's race in Slovenia.
Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe thus demonstrated on the first day that it will not only have Florian Lipowitz as a candidate for joint victory on the Slovenian stage, but also an extremely strong and diverse team that will be able to try to achieve stage successes every day.
In more detail, Stage 1:
The Grand Prix was won by Laurence Pithie (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe), his teammate Arne Marit (Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe) and Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain - Victorious), while Tilen Finkšt (Solution Tech Nippo Rally) was seventh.
