Tadej Pogačar and Urška Žigart were crowned Slovenia's top male and female cyclists on Wednesday as they returned home for the 75th anniversary of the cycling club they both rode for as juniors, KD Rog. 

The association, founded in 1949, plays an important part in Slovenian cycling and even runs its youth team under Pogačar's name and with funding from his trade team UAE Emirates-Pogi Team UAE Generali.
