Public revealing of Stanley’s Cup by Anže Kopitar of LA Kings brought thousands of fans to his home town Hrušica. Licence plates could be seen from all over Slovenia and also Italian, Croatian and Austrian ones – heck how many times does Stanley arrive to this part of Europe anyway?
Anyway a big CONGRATULATIONS to Anže Kopitar and his team LA KINGS for such an achievement and I wish to see this Cup again some day at Hrušica
As usual, click on the photos for better resolution
Some photo moments from qualifying laps at “Stajersko-Primorski pokal” before the rain ruined the day.
I had a chance to visit a training day (job and rain prevented the visit of weekend races) of this years Downhill and 4-Cross mountainbike races for UCI cup. Worlds best MTB racers gathered at Mariborsko Pohorje for one of the best races in the season and luckily the Friday was the only day that was mostly sunny.
Careful examination of other rider’s lines…
Gwin Aaron racing down the track
Training day offers some trailing action with a bigger number of racers on track
Samurai warrior Suemasa Mio looked a bit scarred on this corner; she finished 6th
Gee Atherton – finished 2nd on DH race while his sister Rachel won the women DH race
Infamous “Rocks’n'roll” part of the Maribor track – luckily this rider escaped unhurt
There were many photographers by the track evidently 
Gee jumping!
Searching for the optimum line between roots and rocks
High pitch for this rider
