A bike before a long climb: what actually breaks
Nobody quits because they did not have carbon wheels. They quit because of an unlubricated chain and a brake that faded on the third descent.
Mountain biking
Technique before power.
Forest roads and the ridges of Stolovi and Goč. Long climbs, fast descents and sections where the race is decided by your choice of line.

The trails of Stolovi and Goč, honestly
There is a moment on every climb when a person begins to reconsider every life decision. On Stolovi that moment arrives early and stays a while.
Wild horses on Stolovi: an encounter you do not forget
You are riding the ridge, alone for half an hour, and then round a bend stands a herd looking at you as though you were the guest. You are.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What are the trails like?
Stolovi provides the elevation and technically demanding sections of rock and roots. Goč provides wide forest roads, softer ground and fast transitions where time is won back. Official courses will be published once confirmed.
What kind of bike do I need?
A mountain bike in working order. On terrain like this the usual failures are the drivetrain, the brakes and the tyres — and a spare derailleur hanger fits in a pocket and saves the ride.
Is there technical support on the course?
Repair points and technical support will form part of the official regulations.
When does the mountain bike stage come?
Third, after the air. The bike takes over a team whose legs are already spent on the climb.
