Men’s U23

The race starts in the centre of ljubljana at kongresni trg (congress square). During the 9-kilometre neutralised section, the riders will pass through the city centre, including the iconic triple bridge, before continuing along šubičeva, bleiweisova and celovška roads towards kilometre 0 in šentvid.

The flat section of the course runs through škofja loka, past kranj and the arboretum in volčji potok, and continues via komenda and klanec to cerklje na gorenjskem. There, near strmol castle, the route joins the circuit and crosses the finish line in šenčur for the first time.

The race will be decided over three laps of a 22.1 km circuit, each featuring 367 metres of elevation gain. From šenčur, the road rises gradually via a short climb through olševek towards tupaliče. After a sharp right-hand turn, a steep ascent to možjanca begins. At the top, the road continues over rolling terrain that leaves no room for recovery. A technically demanding descent leads to the lower cable car station at krvavec, followed by a fast valley section where speeds are exceptionally high. Passing strmol castle, just over 7 kilometres remain to complete the lap.
