Stages
editStage 1
edit- 12 June 2024 — Murska Sobota to Ormož,
191.9 km (119.2 mi)205.8 km (127.9 mi)[5]
The organizers announced in the morning hours that due to the effects of storms, they were forced to slightly adjust the route of the stage. Halfway through the originally planned 191.9 km (119.2 mi)-long stage, between the 99th and 111th kilometers, there were floods, so the cyclists had to cross the Mura river near Veržej instead of the originally planned crossing between Črenšovci and Ormož. Compared to the original route, the stage was redirected and consequently extended for 13.9 km to 205.8 km in total. As a result, the cyclists were made to set off five minutes earlier than the originally scheduled start, i.e. at 11:10 a.m. instead of 11:15 a.m., and expected a few minutes later at the finish line.
The stage crossed the Slovenian border for the first time, at Cankova to Austria, staying in Austria for 6 km., passing the town of Bad Radkersburg before returning to Slovenia at Gornja Radgona. The second time the tour crossed the Slovenian border was towards Hungary, staying in Hungary for another 6 km., passing Lenti-Rédics before returning to Slovenia at Lendava. The third and last time the tour crossed the Slovenian border was into Croatia, staying in Croatia for 10 km., passing the municipality of Cestica before returning to Slovenia at Zavrč.
There was only one categorized climb (4th category), 4.5 km long on top of Jeruzalem, with 3% average and 9.4% maximum incline.
