SUMMARY:Tour of Slovenia 2026
DESCRIPTION:Between 17 and 21 June 2026\, Slovenia will once again host one of the country’s biggest sporting events – the 32nd Tour of Slovenia cycling race. The five-day stage race\, considered an important part of the international cycling season\, will once again connect numerous Slovenian towns and attract top domestic and international cyclists to Slovenian roads. \nA special highlight of the race programme is traditionally the final\, 5th stage\, which will finish in Novo mesto on Sunday\, 21 June 2026.
