Four of the eighteen UCI WorldTeams, ten UCI ProTeams and five UCI Continental teams make up the nineteen teams that participated in the race.[2] Originally Visma–Lease a Bike were also invited, but withdrew 3 days before the start of the race citing multiple injuries in their squad as the reason.[3]

The best-positioned riders (according to the UCI ranking) were Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco–AlUla), Fabio Christen (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) and António Morgado (UAE Team Emirates XRG).[4]

Stage 2

5 June 2025 — Velenje to Rogaška Slatina, 157.8 km (98.1 mi)

Stage 2 was an active race, with riders attacking in an effort to put sprint specialists under pressure and prevent a bunch sprint at the finish in Rogaška Slatina. The sprinters had form here; Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco–AlUla) had won in Rogaška Slatina three times previously (in 2018, 2022 and 2023), while Phil Bauhaus (Team Bahrain Victorious) had won in 2024. A group of seven riders escaped the peloton around 20 km from the finish and built a gap which grew to about one minute. In the final sprint, Rui Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates XRG) crossed the line first but was later relegated upon video review. He was deemed to have veered dangerously to the left, blocking Fabio Christen (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team). Christen was subsequently awarded the stage win, with Anders Halland Johannessen (Uno-X Mobility) finishing second and Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl–Trek) third.[7] Christen was also the first to reach the summit of the stage's only categorised climb, Celjska koča (7.8 km at 6.1%).
