Velenje will host the stage start for the first time. With the beautiful backdrop of Velenje Lake, the start of this stage will be a lovely event. The route of the second stage is extremely undulating and technically challenging. The competitors will face numerous smaller steep climbs, which could leave them with heavy legs towards the end of the stage. The cyclists will have bonus and prize sprints, mountain points, and the race will be lively. Several smaller breakaways or changes in the lead are expected before the final loop in Rogaška Slatina.
