Kristijan Koren
Slovenian road bicycle racer
Kristijan Koren (born 25 November 1986) is a Slovenian former professional road racing cyclist, who rode for UCI Continental team Kolesarski Klub Novo Mesto.
During his racing career, Koren won the Gran Premio Città di Camaiore in 2010, and the Slovenian National Road Race Championships in 2022. He also served a doping suspension between 2019 and 2021, for his involvement in Operation Aderlass, an investigation into the practices of German physician Mark Schmidt.
Career
Born in Postojna, Koren turned professional with Liquigas–Doimo, a UCI ProTeam, in 2010. He remained with Liquigas–Cannondale for the 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 seasons.
Koren signed with Cannondale–Garmin, a UCI ProTeam, for the 2015 season. He was named in the start list for the 2017 Giro d'Italia. In 2019, Koren was banned for two years after it was found that he had doped. The discovery was part of Operation Aderlass.
Upon the conclusion of his suspension, Koren returned to professional racing, competing at the Tour of Slovenia and the GP Kranj in 2021, with the Slovenia national team.

Why this record matters
The phrase “slovenian road bicycle racer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q956490. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2010, 2022 and 2019.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
