Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) won the opening stage of the Tour of Slovenia, pipping Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) to the line after the peloton caught a late attacking trio just 300 metres from the line in Rogaška Slatina.

The Dutchman’s Jayco-AlUla team had done much of the work on the front of the peloton throughout the 189.5km stage from Celje, and they were duly rewarded as their sprinter shot to his fifth win of the season.
