11:40, 13km: Pace of the main group is now again low, this is why the gap to the leaders is growing. It’s now at 2 minutes and 10 seconds.

Official explanation of the yesterday’ssituation in Štore: We’re reporting about the incident involving the railroad crossing, but that didn’t have any big influence on the development of the race. Escapees passed the crossing before the barriers went down, but organizers had to stop the main group for a very short period. They did thatbefore the crossing, in the village.

11:35, 10km: Looks like we have a sucesfull breakaway! Six rider are escaped, including Daniel Felipe Martinez (Col, Wilier Triestina-SelleItalia), Davide Ballerini (Ita/Androni-Sidermec-Bottecchia), Sebastian Schönberger (At/Tirol Cycling Team), Jiri Polnicky (Cz/Elekov-AuthorCycling Team), Gianfranco Visconti (Ita/Meridiana Kamen) and Jaka Primožič (Slo/Slovenian national team).

11:25: Main group is stretched, speed is high. Like usually when the potentia lbreakaway is formed.

11:05: 136 cyclists started the last, fourth stage of Tour of Slovenia. Japanese cyclists Kohei Uchima (Nippo-Vini Fantini) didn’t sign the start list.

11:05: Cyclists are on the road – last act of 24th Slovenian tour has begun!

Start - Rogaška Slatina

10:55: Ten minutes to go and the last stage of 24th Tour of Slovenia will begin. Three intermediate finishes are ahead of cyclists – in Šentjur, Štore and by Adria Mobil factory – and also one 3rd category climb to Budna Vas. If we don’t have any crashes of other surprises we’ll see a sprint finish.

There are still 160 kilometers left on the stage, but as far as overall standings are concerned we don’t expect any changes. Green and blue jerseys are in the hands of Polish champion Rafal Majka (Bora – Hansgrohe), winner of third stage. The only question remains who will leave home with red jersey – award for the best sprinter on the race. Tadej Pogačar (Rog – Ljubljana) will be defending white jersey.

Sprinters will surely decide who will win today. One of the main favorites is Luka Mezgec (Orica – Scott): “I’ll have to have a good position for the sprint. If I’ll have it I can win the red jersey, I’m sure of it.”

Among the main favorites are also excellent Italian rider Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain – Merida) and winner of the first stage, Irish Sam Bennett (Bora – Hansgrohe). Meanwhile Mark Cavendish (Team Dimension Data) is still recovering after illness and is not in top form jet.
