Marko Kump also had an amazing race – he took five stage victories and green jersey of the best rider by points.

Team manager Boštjan Mervar was very excided after the race: “It was very hard to win this race, despite the fact that our tactics were flawless. Marko Kump was in the league of his own in the sprints, but we had much harder work with the overall classifications. Roglina was in the position to take the leader’s jersey twice, but always something happened. We were patient and looking for the weaknesses of the others. Radoslav Rogina was the strongest rider on the race in all of the primal elements, he also has years of experiences. He was waiting for his chance. This was the game of seconds, so he was getting nervous, but the team managed that he could attack on the time bonuses. We are all very happy to win here, we took this race very seriously, but also relaxed after already successful season.
The most important thing is we are all alive and healthy on the way back to Slovenia, we already miss our beautiful land.”
