Tour of Slovenia 2025, June 4 - 8

Kyrylo has a sputnik display in his locker, they underestimated him

Tsarenko stepping up to the WT after this year?

Promising performance by Omrzel.

 

[KZD]

Great win from Tasrenko, didn't know him before this race but he seems like a promising climber.

Anders Johannessen doing really well, he is the new leader, so tomorrow might be his first pro win.

Come on Ezren give this Ukrainian boy a call, what could possibly go wrong

Omerzel looked good. Let's see what he's got in the bag for the future.

Welcome back Marc padun

Yeah, him being only 19 it's always fun to follow how young riders develop. Hopefully it'll be an upward trajectory for Omrzel!

Completely unrelated and from the left field and going back to my new fave Slovenian word Volovljek, turns out it translates into ox mountain (vol means ox). Wiki says there's a prevalence of surnames and geographical names in Slovenia that are derived from words related to oxen, highlighting their significance in the region's history and culture.

You learn something new every day!

Are we sure the twins haven't secretly been swapped for this race? Uncharacteristically strong performance by Anders here.

Anders is rid of the pain that he's been suffering with the past 2 seasons or so, so he should pretty much be better than ever now.

So mountain for bulls without their...

Nice surprise, both for the stage and overall winner. Congrats to Carenko for winning the queen stage and to Johannessen for securing the overall. Omrzel finishing high in GC is a nice cherry on top.

As for Lidl and UAE, bit disappointing.

Tzarenko is a capable rouleur with a decent sprint, but his climbing is indeed surprising. That said, having another strong rouleur who is a capable climber with him (Zoccarato) probably helped a bit, since they both arrived before the gc group.

He has not a decent sprint. He is not slow, but not capable to win sprints from 10-15 men group. He is good at hilly and MM terrains, but making gains in high mountains as well. Tsarenko is progressing every year.

I mean decent sprint from a reduced group in one of the Italian Autumn one day races, probably should have phrased it better. Meanwhile the war and his father getting conscripted early on (+ having to get his mother and younger sister to Italy) seems to have done a number (mentally) on Ponomar.

Lets see if Trška gora can still reshuffle GC.
