Jan Polanc put in a brave ride to claim the bronze medal and end a strong week of competition in Slovenia.

Pogačar: “After second place last week coming back and taking the win felt really nice. It was a course I knew very well and we had trained a lot on it during the week.

Jan has showed his form is coming really good too. He worked hard last week for me in the road race and to get the bronze is really nice for the team also.”
