Jan Tratnik retained his title as ITT National Champion of Slovenia on a 28.8km course in Novo mesto. Tratnik completed the course with a time of 35:22, as fellow Bahrain Victorious teammate Matej Mohoric took second place eight seconds behind.
A delighted Tratnik said, “Today’s time trial was quite hard. I had good legs today, I felt good before the race and I am happy to have defended my national title.”
The latest signing for Team Bahrain Victorious, Matevž Govekar, also put in a solid ITT taking fourth overall and became the U-23 Slovenian ITT National Champion.
“I am happy with today’s race, I made the first real chronometer since I have been on a road bike, so I am very happy. But I am still behind the best riders, which means that I will have a lot of work to do in the future. I enjoyed the Team Bahrain Victorious jersey which made my first real result in it.”
