Adria Mobil aims for victory number 5
Team manager Boštjan Mervar announced the Adria Mobil riders for XXI. edition of Tour of Slovenia. There are no surprises in the lineup, especially due to the fact that Tomaž Nose isn’t jet ready for racing. Race will be held from 19th till 22nd June.

Adria Mobil Cycling will defend Radoslav Rogina’s victory from 2013 edition. But the task is anything but easy – they will have to prove their worth on a very hard course and against extremely strong competition. Adria will race with the following riders: Radoslav Rogina, Matej Mugerli, Kristjan Fajt, Klemen Štimulak, Bruno Maltar, Primož Roglič, David Per and Domen Novak.

Radoslav Rogina: “Everything in my season lead to this race, and I know that I had a good training; but that is not guaranty for success. A lot of things has to come together, like it did last year. I’m happy that our team has more riders that can take a win. We will fight all the way to the end – that is a promise – so we will be all satisfied after the race.”

Adria Mobil was racing on every of the twenty races, but with different title sponsor in the period from 1993. Adria Mobil became a title sponsor in 2006 and still is the main supporter of the team. Team from Novo mesto won the race four times and with this is the most successful team on Tour of Slovenia. Branko Filip won in 1998, Martin Derganc in 2000, Tomaž Nose was better than Nibali in 2007. Radoslav Rogina won the race in 2013.

Adria Mobil also has most stage victories. There were 116 stages all together in these years, our team won 15 of them.
