Welcome back to another edition of\u00a0Pro Log<\/a>. Here\u2019s a rundown of the latest results before we get started:<\/p>\n Tadej Poga\u010dar sewed up his Tour de Suisse victory on the very first day, putting the hammer down after the intermediate sprint and eventually slipping clear, catching Uno-X Mobility\u2019s Fredrik Dversnes and then leaving him behind to take over two minutes at the finish to second place Richard Carapaz. He had a quieter couple of days before claiming the narrowest of victories in the Stage 4 time-trial, beating Mathieu van der Poel by 0.04 seconds. He then finished the job by winning the final stage in the mountains after catching and passing Bahrain Victorious\u2019s Lenny Martinez in the final kilometre. Poga\u010dar was joined on the final GC podium by Carapaz and Lidl-Trek\u2019s Mathias Vacek.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the closest he\u2019s raced to the start of the Tour de France<\/a> for a few years \u2013 it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s looking strong \u2013\u00a0and it\u2019s another race ticked off his to-do list. <\/p>\n In the women\u2019s race, which took place on the same days and with the same, albeit shorter, stages, Movistar\u2019s Marlen Reusser claimed her first stage race of the season, defending her title on home roads. The GC was a lot more competitive than the men\u2019s race, with Visma-Lease a Bike\u2019s Femke de Vries taking the first yellow jersey after winning the opening stage. Elisa Longo Borghini then took over on Stage 2 after going solo before Reusser powered into the lead after the Stage 4 time-trial and looked the strongest she\u2019s been all season on the final stage, dropping C\u00e9drine\u00a0Kerbaol and Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney in the final kilometre to take stage and overall honours. Her final margin was 1min 31sec over Kerbaol in second, with Niewiadoma-Phinney a further 31 seconds behind.<\/p>\n Paula Blasi has been sweeping up big mountain victories since her breakthrough Amstel Gold Race win. She won La Vuelta Femenina<\/a> in early May after overturning her deficit to race leader Anna van der Breggen on the Alto de l\u2019Angliru; she won the hilly Durango Durango one-day race ten days later; she claimed a dominant victory at the CIC-Tour F\u00e9minin des Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es after taking two minutes on the Col du Tourmalet; and last weekend she won the Volta a Catalunya after taking 1min 20sec over second place C\u00e9lia Gery on the climb La Molina.<\/p>\n With that run of form, along with Elisa Longo Borghini struggling in Switzerland and Pauliena Rooijakkers on maternity leave, UAE Team ADQ have added the 23-year-old Catalan to their Tour de France Femmes<\/a> roster. Could she add Mont Ventoux to her 2026 conquests?<\/p>\n The five-day Tour of Slovenia would be decided between Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe duo Florian Liopwitz and Giulio Pellizzari on the final day after taking over a minute and half from closest challenger Jakob Omrzel of Bahrain Victorious in a Red Bull 1-2 on the mountainous Stage 4.<\/p>\n The pendulum ultimately swung the way of Lipowitz, who went clear in the final 10km of the hilly day in what would be another 1-2 for the squad, this time with Laurence Pithie \u2013\u00a0who himself led the race for three days after winning the first stage \u2013\u00a0finishing second, 24sec down. <\/p>\n It’s a positive sign for Lipowitz, who will be hoping to defend his Tour de France podium against a lot tougher competition than he had here.<\/p>\n Red Bull Bora-Hansgrohe Rookie\u2019s Lorenzo Finn won the Giro Next Gen by 2min 10sec from UAE Team Emirates Gen Z\u2019s Mateo Ram\u00edrez and 2min 35sec ahead of Henrique Bravo from the Soudal Quick-Step Devo Team to become the first Italian to win the race for 15 years.<\/p>\n The Italian, who is half English, was the favourite going into the race also known as the Baby Giro, and won in dominant fashion thanks to his victories in the mountains on Stage 6 to Monte Livata \u2013 when he rode away on the 13.7km HC climb \u2013 and in the Stage 8 time-trial, as well as a close third on Stage 7 after closing down a 30-second gap in the final 500 metres.<\/p>\n Previous winners of the Giro Next Gen include Tom Pidcock and Juan Ayuso, and 19-year-old Finn, who is the U23 World Champion, is tipped to be the next big rider to break through a la Paul Seixas. Next up on his schedule is the Sibiu Cycling Tour with the elite Red Bull squad and then the Tour de l’Avenir<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
