Orica-GreenEdge stated its objective for the 2016 Tour de Slovenia was to chase stage wins and immediately met its aims as Belgian Jens Keukeleire sprinted to the victory in Koper ahead of Lampre-Merida's Diego Ulissi. Jack Haig then won the bunch sprint, three seconds behind Keukeleire as the peloton split on the finishing circuit.
