Although I took over the leadership of Adria Mobil only recently, I am aware that caravanning and cycling have been closely related for many years, as the bicycle is an indispensable element of lastmile mobility, and with technological development and the increasing number of electric bicycles, this symbiosis and connection are expanding even more. Cycling is probably also one of the most demanding sports, as it requires excellent physical and mental preparation of both the individual and the entire team, and on top of that the international competition of cycling teams is getting stronger every year. If we put the results achieved by the Adria Mobil Cycling Club alongside these facts, I can only conclude that it is an exceptional collective with great potential.

The cycling race for the Adria Mobil Grand Prix was organized for the first time in 2015, in honour of the 50th anniversary of the Adria brand. I am glad that during this period the race has grown into one of the Slovenian cycling spring classics, which offers Slovenian cycling talents the possibility of international comparison and is another in a series of sporting events that place the Adria brand as well as Slovenia on the international cycling scene.

I wish all cyclists as few falls as possible and that little bit of sport’s luck that is necessary for winning the race!

V letu 2025 bomo desetič izvedli Veliko nagrado Adria Mobil, poimenovano po našem glavnem sponzorju. S ponosom jo organiziramo v kolesarskem klubu Adria Mobil. V desetih letih se je dodobra uveljavila kot mednarodna dirka UCI Europe Toura za kategorije moški Elite in Pod 23 let. Postala je pravi spomladanski uvod v kolesarsko sezono in privablja vsako leto večje število tekmovalcev in ponese ime našega glavnega sponzorja širom Evrope in tudi na druge kontinente. Letos je prijavljenih 30 ekip oziroma 176 tekmovalcev, kar je najvišje dovoljeno število po kriterijih UCI, tekmovalci prihajajo iz 26 držav in 5 kontinentov. Taka zasedba obeta, da bo 10. jubilejna izvedba dirke tekmovalno zanimiva in napeta do zadnjega kilometra. Člansko ekipo KK Adria Mobil smo letos pomladili in jo sestavili iz domačih tekmovalcev vzgojenimi v našem klubu. Stiskajmo pesti na dirki za naše tekmovalce v modro-rdečih dresih in upajmo na odmevne rezultate.

Vzgoja kolesarjev v kolesarski šoli Adria Mobil je eden od stebrov delovanja našega kluba, zato vsako leto organiziramo tekmovalni program za najmlajše. Z njim želimo navduševati za kolesarstvo najmlajše in promovirati zdrav način življenja. Na koncu otroške dirke, katere se bo udeležilo preko 100 tekmovalcev, so zmagovalci prav vsi.

Prireditve na tako visokem nivoju ne bi bilo brez naših sponzorjev katerim gre iskrena zahvala ob 10. jubilejni izvedbi dirke. Posebna zahvala gre tudi organizacijskemu odboru za profesionalno izvedbo dirke, slovenski policiji, ki skrbi za varnost dirke in vsem prostovoljcem, ki skrbijo za brezhibno izvedbo dirke do najmanjših detajlov. Organizacijo Velike nagrade Adria Mobil utemeljujemo na vrednotah, ki jih živimo v klubu, in to so timsko delo, strpnost, zdravje, zaupanje, pozitiven odnos do življenja, tekmovalnost, poštenost, ekološka osveščenost, predanost klubu. Vsem sponzorjem in partnerjem dirke iskrena zahvala za vso podporo, vaše sodelovanje nam omogoča, da se klub razvija v kakovostno športno organizacijo z visokimi profesionalnimi standardi.

Hvala za vaše srčno navijanje za vse tekmovalce na Veliki nagradi Adria Mobil in še posebej za tekmovalce našega kluba.

Race Director

This year, Cycling Club Adria Mobil is organizing the tenth anniversary edition of the international cycling race Grand Prix Adria Mobil, classified as UCI 1.2. Riders from 26 different countries will compete in this year’s race. We hope that one of our club’s cyclists will take the victory, as this is one of the most important races in the opening part of the cycling season.

The racecourse will see some minor changes compared to last year, but these modifications are subtle. However, the traditional race start in front of the headquarters of the club’s general sponsor, Adria Mobil d.o.o., and the finish line at Novo Mesto’s

Glavni trg, remain unchanged.

As always, we cannot forget about our youngest and most enthusiastic cyclists. A significant part of our club’s activities is dedicated to them, which is why we will once again organize children’s races, as part of the event.

On this occasion, I would like to sincerely thank all our sponsors and partners, especially our main sponsor, Adria Mobil, for their long-standing support  and trust in us.

Yes, from the very start of the season, I was eagerly looking forward to this race because it’s my home race and holds a special place in my heart. It was truly incredible to ride on roads where I have trained practically my entire career, knowing every turn and every climb. This race is something special for me, as it gives me the opportunity to compete on the ground where I grew up, which gives me extra motivation. I don’t think I could have chosen a better race to win than this one.
