CyclingNews have this:
Selector Gorazd Penko did in fact reply when asked on Slovenian TV as reported by RTV SLO, justifying his choice to leave out the Liv AlUla Jayco rider because Žigart “has never been among the top 30 cyclists in a one-day race” at the top level. However, that is something she has managed at La Course by Le Tour de France in 2018 when she was 27th.
I can understand that as a tie breaker between two riders, but seems weak given Pintar has only ridden two WWT races this season, one 31st and one DNF. In the national road champs, she finished 2nd, but 10 minutes behind Žigart.

Almost all NGBs in international sport have at least one selection criteria along the lines of "the discretion of the selection panel". Making all other criteria redundant.

They must have documented selection criteria.
She's still Slovenian and they're surely not excluding a cyclist for racing "mostly elsewhere"? USA, Australia, NZ, SA, etc would be fucked if that was the case :)
