Tour of Slovenia 2017 – Stage 3 [FULL STAGE]

June 15, 2017

Tour of Slovenia 2017 – Stage 3 – Celje – Rogla : 167,7 km

Tour of Slovenia is a stage race cycling race held in Slovenia. Since 2005, the race has been organised as a 2.1 race on the UCI Europe Tour.

Rafal Majka (Bora-Hansgrohe) took out the victory on the queen stage of the Tour of Slovenia, crossing the line triumphant at the top of the nearly 14km ascent to Rogla. In the last meters, the Polish rider distanced Giovanni Visconti (Bahrain-Merida) to take the overall race lead.

Majka attacked with 10km to go, drawing out Visconti and Jack Haig (Orica-Scott), before sprinting away to the stage win. He leads the race by eight seconds over Visconti and 18 over Haig thanks to the time bonuses.

“First I have to say thanks to my teammates. They did an excellent job, also the past two days,” Majka said. “I attacked early because I didn’t know the climb and didn’t want to take any risk. Nobody wanted to cooperate, so I tried it several times. In the end I took the win, and that is important. I am very happy, not just for this win, also because this was a good test after three weeks training in Sierra Nevada. I think I am ready now for the Tour [de France].”
