Omrzel's Own Path: Slovenia's Rising Climbs to Vuelta Glory Without Looking Back
TL;DR Summary
Twenty-year-old Jakob Omrzel stunned the Vuelta field by winning Stage 12 at Calar Alto, becoming Slovenia’s youngest Grand Tour stage winner. He’s eager to forge his own path rather than being compared to Tadej Pogačar or Primož Roglič, discussing his WorldTour rise with Bahrain Victorious after a breakthrough under-23 season and a life‑changing crash in 2024, and he still dreams of a Tour de France future if his trajectory continues.
