Cro Race 2021 – Stage 5 [FULL STAGE]

October 2 28, 2021

Cro Race 2021 – Stage 5 – Rabac/Labin – Opatija : 137,5 km

The Tour of Croatia may be one of the youngest stage-races on the pro cycling calendar, starting back in 2015, but it has wasted no time in establishing itself as one of the best races for first-year pros to really shine against WorldTour opposition. For the past four editions the Tour of Croatia has started in the city of Osijek and finished in the capital, Zagreb. The route has often worked its way around the perimeter of the country, tackling a series of rolling stages along the coast before a leg-breaking stage through the Učka mountain range on the penultimate day of the race.
