Gorenjska banka Proud Sponsor of L'Etape Slovenia for the Fourth Consecutive Year!

As a strategic sponsor Gorenjska banka supports kids' races, the family ride, and the polka dot jersey.

At Gorenjska banka, they recognize the importance of sports participation and are continuing their support for the fourth year in a row as one of the key partners of L'Etape Slovenia by Tour de France. As a strategic sponsor of the two-day cycling festival, they are strengthening their brand recognition among participants and promoting the image of a bank that encourages an active lifestyle from an early age.

Kids' Races and Family Ride

Gorenjska banka remains the general sponsor of Saturday’s cycling events for the youngest participants on balance bikes and for primary school children. These take place on an 800-meter loop near the main event venue. They also sponsor the family ride, a 13-kilometer route in the Kranj area. Thanks to this partnership, participation is free of charge, with registrations expected to open at the end of May or beginning of June.

Polka Dot Jersey – Sunday Race

For the fourth consecutive year, Gorenjska banka is the official sponsor of the polka dot jersey (Maillot à pois rouges), awarded to the fastest climbers in the Sunday race on the 80 km and 150 km routes. Honoring the kings and queens of the climbs is a proud tradition that has been a part of professional cycling since 1975.

Preserving Tradition

Since the beginning of their partnership, Gorenjska Bank has been committed to supporting long-standing traditions by sponsoring local sports events, clubs, and associations. With their dedication, they continue to promote physical activity, an active lifestyle, and the development of sports at both local and national levels.
