“Yes, we’re trying.”he admitted Rok Lozejone of the great men of Slovenian cycling, Tuttobiciweb.

Slovenia could even join forces with Italy to give credence to this candidacy and honor a former winner of the Tour. “The goal is to honor Ottavio Bottecchia. If the Tour started from Slovenia, we could agree with our neighbor to let part of the stage pass on their roads, perhaps precisely to honor the great Venetian champion of San Martino Colle Umberto , the first Italian to win the Tour de France 100 years ago and who died in tragic circumstances in 1927. In short, we are on the eve of a centenary.”
