We’re reaching wide international audience and creating great promotion for the race and Slovenia – amazing touristic destination. From the day one I’m also impressed by the extraordinary atmosphere that surrounds the race, I’m also very proud on team Adria Mobil Cycling that is showing so much boldness in this harsh competition and I hope they will have some sports luck on the last day, something you always need for a top result.
