Laurence Pithie won stage 1 of the 2026 Tour of Slovenia, beating Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe teammate Arne Marit in a reduced bunch sprint. The team had split the peloton through Jan Tratnik before controlling the finale and switching its lead rider from Marit to Pithie inside the final kilometres. Marit then delivered the decisive leadout, allowing Pithie to continue his recent winning form.
