After a foggy morning in Grosuplje, the day turned into a beautiful autumn afternoon, perfect conditions for some outstanding racing at the penultimate pump track event of the season. Our riders once again proved that they are incredibly fast on the track.

More than 50 competitors gathered in Grosuplje, showing impressive speed and skill. In the U9 and U11 categories, Lina Vuga represented our team among the U11 girls. Although these categories are non-competitive, Lina still managed to set the fastest lap of the group, which would have earned her first place.

In the U13 girls’ category, Taja Malavašič Šurca made a strong comeback to racing after a year and a half away due to injury. Each of her runs was faster than the previous one, and in the end, she beat her Maribor rival by just 0.04 seconds to take first place. Urban Vidmar finished eighth among the U13 boys. Eva Pavšič Prezelj continues to deliver excellent performances this season. This time, she was fast enough to secure second place among the U15 girls. Current national champion Tamara Homar had no direct competition in Grosuplje, but her time was still very impressive. Gregor Kurnik has been consistently standing on the podium throughout the season. This time, after three runs, he and his rival from KK Črn Trn recorded identical times. In the deciding fourth run, Gregor was faster and claimed second place.

Lina Vuga (U11 girls) - non-competitive category

Taja Malavašič Šurca (U13 girls) - 1st place
