Before the race, we challenged our riders to guess some of Istria's most iconic locations using just a photo. Some answers were spot on... others, not quite. π
Watch the video to see how they did!

Not all stars of NOVA Eroica Istria were out on the course... π
Some were waiting inside the Lapidarium Museum.
As part of the Expo, visitors stepped back in time through a unique exhibition of vintage bicycles in Novigrad.
Among the highlights were iconic models such as the Cinelli Supercorsa Pista (1970), the legendary Masi Gran Criterium (1974) and the Peugeot Record du Monde (1980), each representing an important chapter in cycling history. For example, Cinelli is one of the most iconic track bikes ever built, still handcrafted in Italy today and considered a true masterpiece of cycling design.
The exhibition was made possible thanks to the private collections of Dr. Josip JankoviΔ and Marina LanΔa, whose passion for preserving cycling heritage brought these remarkable bicycles to life!
Which one would you have taken home? ππ»
From "the best refreshment station ever" to stories about the kindness of our volunteers, these moments remind us that NOVA Eroica Istria is about so much more than cycling.
Part 2 of our riders' impressions is here.

Let's settle this once and for all. π
Brtonigla? Buje? Umag - Monterosso? GroΕΎnjan? Livade? Motovun? Novigrad?
Everyone talks about the routes, but we all know the real competition happens at the refreshment stations. π
From truffle pasta and local wines to homemade cakes, fritule and olive oil, every stop had its own fan club.
