Belgian Michiel Coppens broke away from the leading group 16 kilometres before the finish and claimed victory in Izola with a 43-second lead over the first chasing group. The best Slovenian, Žak Eržen, finished in 16th place.

For safety reasons, the race organizers have relocated the finish line from Cankarjev Drevenik to Prešernova Street, while the rest of the route remains unchanged. A total of 29 teams and more than 170 cyclists from 27 countries will compete. The race will be broadcast on Planet 2 and the YouTube channel @Sloveniacycling.

Slovenia is a true cycling nation - not just because of the outstanding achievements of its cyclists, nor merely due to the countless enthusiasts who have embraced cycling as their favorite form of recreation. It’s because the entire country serves as an exceptional natural playground for outdoor sports of all kinds.
 

Well-established Slovenian spring classic will once again attract 30 teams. On Sunday, March 23, we can expect 176 cyclists on the roads of Slovenian Istria. With the support of the Slovenian Tourist Board, the race will be broadcast live on Planet TV 2.
