Ilian Barhoumi

A powerful and strong multi-discipline cyclist, Barhoumi has had success on the road but also in mountain-bike during his time as a junior rider so far. Transferring those technical skills gained from riding through the dirt and mud, Barhoumi was able to show himself as someone suited to the classics in his opening year as a junior; taking a brilliant third place at E3. Good results followed before he would go on to claim the Swiss national road race title in a two-up sprint after a hard day out. It is a title that he would go on to double-up with, claiming the victory in 2023 in dominant fashion, winning by over three minutes to his nearest opponent. This season has seen Barhoumi utilise his punchy nature and good bike skills well, winning the U19 version of Strade Bianche (the Eroica Juniors Siena – Montalcino), claiming a tenth place at Paris-Roubaix, and most recently third overall on GC at Valromey Juniors.

Vincent Bodet

Starting his junior career in perfect fashion in the 2022 season, Bodet won his first race of the year at the Mapei Classic in France. Building on that result a stage win at the Tour du Pays d’Olliergues followed in May before a succession of solid and consistent results throughout the rest of the campaign, such as fifth at GP Plouay Juniors and three top five finishes in time trials. This season has seen Bodet continue to impress over mixed terrain, once again showing himself in the efforts against the clock at Ster van Zuid-Limburg and Chrono 47 Juniors. The climbs are also to Bodet’s liking too, and he achieved fifth overall at Gipuzkoa Klasikoa, second at Tour du Pays d’Ollergues and fifth on GC at Trophée Morbihan. Further proving himself at a consistent level, he just missed out on the French tricolor recently with a second place in the national TT.
