Stage 1
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%).

Kyrylo Tsarenko (Team Solution Tech–Vini Fantini) won the stage, his first against strong UCI WorldTeam competition, having built a lead as part of an early breakaway.[9]

Stage 5
- 8 June 2025 — Litija to Novo Mesto, 123.9 km (77.0 mi)
Stage 5 was a short, hilly stage with a traditional finish in Novo Mesto. The stage featured five categorised climbs; two ascents of Vače (the first a category 2 climb, the second a shorter category 3) as well as Bogenšperk (cat. 3), Trebelno (cat. 3) and Trška Gora (cat. 3). On the final climb, general classification leader Anders Halland Johannessen (Uno-X Mobility) launched an attack on the peloton and moved up the road to finish with the front group. Ivo Oliveira (UAE Team Emirates XRG) won the stage in a reduced bunch sprint.[10]
