Omrzel's Own Path: Slovenia's Rising Climbs to Vuelta Glory Without Looking Back

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.

Mas Extends Vuelta Lead as Omrzel Delivers Breakthrough Stage Win

Enric Mas extended his Vuelta a Espana lead after a late attack on stage 12 to Calar Alto, where Jakob Omrzel rode clear to win the stage by nearly two minutes; Omrzel also moved within 30 seconds of Oscar Onley in the best young rider standings after Onley crashed and finished fifth in GC. Mas had broken from a small group with about 13km to go, gaining 27 seconds on the day and pushing his overall lead to 1 minute 56 seconds over Roglic and Gall, while Pogacar's earlier exit from the race after a stage eight crash leaves the field aiming for the final climbs around Malaga and Granada before the finish in Andalusia on Sunday.
