Squad

Startlist

Last day of Tour of Slovenie's 2013 edition. We'll just follow pace of peloton and Andrej will maybe try something in mass sprint, at finish.

Fajt, Janiaczyk , Scheiwzer and Marentes decided to try something from breakaway. Since not any of them were in TOP50, it was quite visible that their group is going to finish this stage before peloton.



And , it was simple as that. Peloton let them fight this battle and no one chased. Unexpectedly , Marentes took win by even gaining new time. Great sprint performance by Colombian rider.



3 minutes and 20 seconds after them , peloton crossed the line. Surprisingly , Polanc won that sprint and he was followed by Rajsp.

Great race for us. Polanc won U25 classification and got spot on podium, Rajsp sprinted well in both 2nd and 4th stage, Pavlic's performance on mountains were just great. See ya soon!

Team's Plan

As team with most riders on this Nat. Championship , we'll try to send at least 1 guy in breakaway. If that does not succeed, we'd still have Pibernik/Rajsp duo for sprint , and Polanc for some more serious attacks.

Squad

Startlist

As expected, we started first attack , trying to make breakaway. More precisely , it was Tadej Hiti who started it , and he was followed by Adria's Primoz Roglic. Peloton let them go, and it's on them to choose if they're going to work for teams, or for individual wins.



Gap was bigger and bigger , and after some time it was clear that noone was interested in following these guys or chasing them, so they'll let them choose winner , definitely.

Roglic had pretty dumb tactic, to be honest. He attacked few times, and it was not problem for Tadej to follow that. After 1 attack , few kilometers before finish line , Roglic could not follow Hiti , so it became clear.

2nd year in a row, Radenska has National Champion, this time it's Tadej Hiti!

To be honest, i expected this. With 8 guys in squad , it was just impossible to miss this chance. Aaand , iirc it's out first win this season. So , we're going to celebrate it. See ya soon!

Team's Plan

Definitely terrain that suits Polanc. We can see our chances here.

*Forgot to take it.*

Should've been great day for cycling. Great weather in Slovenia, just great.

Stevensson , Dvorsky , Kirsch and Simon started early breakaway, just when race started. Seems like solid group.



But, as it was expected, they were caught at about 50kms to finish line. It was clearly visible that favourites are going to fight for win , not some breakaway anonymnous.

Everything was quiet and noone tried attacking until 10km-to finish banner. Polanc felt great today, so he was first guy to attack.



Of course , all favourites followed that and strongest of them were Zoidl and Acevedo. Soon after, these 3 guys started working together , and it seemed like we have winner in this group. Pibernik was in E2. Great performance by him on that hill ,also.



And, as downhill was until last kilometer, first group managed to stay at front , and question of the day was who's going to be better in sprint. Acevedo started first and he was followed by Polanc. Zoidl was first guy to give up. It was great fight by Jan and Janier , but Acevedo was just faster in last 20 meters, so he won!



Although Acevedo won ,this is just awesome result for us. Once again, Jan Polanc showed what a talent he is. Pibernik's performance was awesome , also, as he finished 4th , outsprinting all guys in 2nd group.

Great day for us. 2 in TOP5 is just awesome. Be aware CT teams, Radenska's getting in shape!

It's already middle of July so it's time for Radenska's half-season review.
Great season for us so far. 1 win and many podiums gave us really good position on ranking lists.Team directors are very satisfied with me as manager, so i really hope i'll extend my contract for next season.

Let's check our current positions on CQ and Continental rankings!

On Continental Rankings list , we're on 5th place , right behind Bardiani and IAM. We're hoping we can gain some points in last few races of our season , so we can go over both of these teams.



But also, our position is not so secured , since Accent Jobs - Wanty are 40 points behind us. We'll have to keep an eye on them.

Meanwhile , on CQ Rankings list , we're currently on 37th position, with same number of points as Team Nippo de Rosa. That's solid result , since we're CT team , but still , we're going to try to go up for few places.



No reason to be aware of loosing position , since 39th team is about 70 points behind us. That should be enough.
