Alex ClementsHOST
Then the racing kicked in, 24.
Alex ClementsHOST
Was it 24 or was it Baby Giro? It was 25, Baby Giro.
Alex ClementsHOST
25.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
Pre the two months before the Baby Giro in 24, I had a pretty good run.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
I was second in Ronde Zard.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
Sorry, sixth on GC.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
And my whole goal that year was to do as much as I could for the first six months of the year.
Luke TuckwellGUEST
I didn't care about what happened after June.
Patrick BroeHOST
... is their best GC rider.
Patrick BroeHOST
If Poole is injured or sick, van Huffel, I mean, third in Alpes is, uh, eighth in Baby Giro, ninth in Burgos against guys preparing for the Vuelta.
Benji NaesenHOST
Yeah.
Patrick BroeHOST
Third in Laveer behind Finn, beating Ramirez and Bravo.
Caley FretzHOST
I mean, it's a name that I'd seen prior to this Vuelta, but not one that I had ever sort of felt any need to dig into all that much.
Caley FretzHOST
He won the Giro Next Gen last year.
Dane CashHOST
Mm.
Caley FretzHOST
So that's always sort of a pretty good indicator.
Kaylee FranceHOST
I mean, it's a name that I'd seen prior to this Vuelta, but not one that I'd ever sort of felt any need to dig into all that much.
Kaylee FranceHOST
He won the Giro Next Gen last year, so that's always sort of a pretty good indicator.
Kaylee FranceHOST
You know, third at the Tour of Slovenia.
Dane CashHOST
So, I don't...
Matt StephensHOST
But remember, this is his first year riding at world tour level.
Matt StephensHOST
Last year, he took the Giro Next Gen, which is a real indicator of talent.
Matt StephensHOST
But to win that stage in the manner that he did was mightily impressive, especially for Slovenia.
Matt StephensHOST
You know, they've got so much talent in such a relatively small country.
Johan BruyneelHOST
His last year junior, 2024.
Johan BruyneelHOST
Last year was his first year under 23, in which he won the Baby Giro.
Johan BruyneelHOST
Also, I found out this is how unbelievable versatile of a rider he is.
Johan BruyneelHOST
As a junior, this tiny guy won Paris-Roubaix juniors.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Chris, obviously he does have great pedigree.
Daniel FriebeHOST
I mean, he won the Next Gen Giro, the Baby Giro.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Was, that was last year, wasn't it?
Chris MarshallGUEST
Last year, correct.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Incidentally, I mean, Bahrain, they're certainly no slouches as a team, but we've talked so much over the last few years about this sort of scramble for the big talents, and how cycling's increasingly being dominated by the super teams, three, four, five teams.
Daniel FriebeHOST
And Bahrain Victorious, um, don't really, wouldn't really qualify for that, for that rubric, the super teams.
Daniel FriebeHOST
Um, so people might be wondering, how come Jakob Omrisel, if he won the Baby Giro, he's ended up in that team? He's very, very good friends with Zak Erzen, Milan Erzen-
Chris MarshallGUEST
Yeah
Pete KennaughHOST
I think before we get into the rest of the stage, I think we should talk a little bit about where he's come from and what we know of him.
Ned BoultingHOST
All I can tell you is after his victory in the Baby Giro, was it last year, Pete? Last year.
Ned BoultingHOST
When he won the overall, he did an interview in which he was almost inevitably asked, are you the new Tadej Pogacar? To which his answer was, no, I'm the new Jakob Omzal.
Ned BoultingHOST
So it's like absolutely dismissing the comparison instantly, but also backing himself.
