Italy will have most riders on the start

Italy will have most riders on the start
We are just days away from 3rd Grand Prix Adria Mobil, the race will take place on Sunday, 2nd April. Team are changing their lineups in the last minute, unfortunately two teams also cancel their arrival. Teams Metalac Kraljevo from Serbia and Amplatz-BMC from Austria will not arrive to Novo mesto, which means we’ll not see one of the favorites Matej Mugerli on the strart.

After cancelation of two teams organizers contacted two other teams, but we can’t confirm their arrival at this times. Currently there are 24 teams on the race, with total of 188 riders from 25 countries. Most of them are from Italy – 42. Slovenia follows with 37 riders and Austria with 21.

There will be also some riders from very distanced countries. Johnathan Caicedo Cepeda arrives from Panama, Nicolas German Tivani Perez from Argentina and Uri Martins Sandoval from Mexico. We also have to mention Columbian team Bicicletas Strongman. Colombians are know as great climbers and will for sure cause problems for all sprinters that will need to “survive” many climbs on Gorjanci mountains.
