26:25 - Ladies and gentlemen, we're here in the team area here
26:42 with Team Target BMX team.
26:45 One of the nicest teams on the circuit
26:47 of the European scene.
26:47 We see them everywhere, these guys.
26:50 We've got free riders from the men under 23s here.
26:52 We got Jan-Victor Vranks, Thomas Willems,
26:56 and your name, sir?
26:57 - Alec Garcia.
26:58 - Ah, Garcia from Spain, of course.
27:00 He has a brother, older brother.
27:02 Yeah, older brother.
27:03 Okay, we're gonna talk about these guys
27:05 'cause we've talked to some of the factory teams
27:07 and some of the national teams in the team area,
27:09 but these are what we call,
27:11 more of a national team, if you like.
27:13 They're a private team.
27:15 They are sponsored by Maybo, Maybo BMX bikes,
27:18 but they have a lot of sponsors here.
27:20 We'll just step back there.
27:21 You can see a lot of their sponsors.
27:23 They get a well-supported team,
27:25 and it's always good to see these teams.
27:26 Come back in, guys.
27:27 Come back closer to me.
27:29 On the European scene and the world scene,
27:31 some of these guys went out to the world championships
27:33 only a couple of weeks ago.
27:34 So anyway, look, we're gonna start with you, Jan-Victor Vranks.
27:37 Men under 23, apparently this is your last year
27:40 in this category.
27:41 How are you feeling going into this year
27:43 and how's your form been?
27:45 - Well, it's my last year, year 23.
27:47 Last year wasn't the best I saw.
27:49 My seventh of Europe, and I hope this year back
27:52 a little bit better, but my form is not so good
27:55 like last year.
27:56 I work at home a lot, and yeah.
28:00 But the race is on Saturday, and I'll be informed there.
28:05 - Yeah, you'll be informed there.
28:08 Listen, how do you find this track?
28:09 It looks quite technical out there.
28:10 They've changed the third straight, the berm jump.
28:13 What do you think?
28:14 - Yes, for me, personally, I like the track,
28:18 but every year I was here, I don't make the finish line
28:22 because I hope this year more.
28:24 But yeah, it's now the European Championship.
28:27 I'm more prepared than the other one.
28:30 - Okay, and what's it like riding for Target BMX team?
28:33 How do they support you guys?
28:34 I know what a great job they do,
28:36 but tell the people watching at home what it's like
28:38 to ride for one of the more national teams, as it were.
28:41 - For me, it's just a family.
28:44 They do everything for me, and this is also
28:47 one of the important things of my career.
28:49 And yeah, for me, it's just a family.
28:51 - Yeah, okay, that's good.
28:52 We always say that about our own team back in the UK.
28:55 Of course, it's a bit of a family team.
28:56 Come closer, guys.
28:57 Don't be scared of us.
28:59 Thomas Willems here, men under 23.
29:01 How are you finding it?
29:02 What's your age?
29:03 How long have you got left in this age group?
29:05 - I'm 19 years old.
29:06 I'm second here, under 23,
29:08 so I have two more years to go, I think.
29:10 And yeah, I'm feeling good on this track.
29:15 - Okay, and you like this track.
29:16 How do you find it?
29:17 A lot of people are saying it's a bit stony,
29:19 but is it okay?
29:20 - Yeah, it's a bit stony, but it's okay.
29:21 It's quite technical.
29:23 It's different than last year, so it's fun.
29:26 It's a new challenge.
29:27 - Okay, lots of lines in the third straight, isn't there,
29:30 coming out of that second turn.
29:31 How are you finding that?
29:33 - Yeah, there are quite some lines,
29:35 but you just need to stick to the line that's best for you,
29:39 so you're feeling confident on the straight,
29:41 so then it's good.
29:43 - Okay, and the rivalry between the team?
29:47 I mean, you guys are all gonna be in the final, right?
29:50 - Hopefully.
29:50 - All three of you?
29:51 - Yeah, we hope, we hope.
29:53 Spanish, Belgium, yeah, we hope.
29:54 - Okay, good.
29:55 Look, this guy over here, Garcia,
29:57 how's it going for you guys?
29:59 I know your English isn't great,
30:00 but that's what you said earlier,
30:02 but we know you can speak English,
30:04 'cause you can understand me right now.
30:06 Tell us, you're from Spain.
30:07 Let me just change positions here.
30:08 I don't wanna be cutting you off here,
30:10 but what's it like for you to be riding in a team like this
30:14 when you're from a different country?
30:16 These two guys, Belgium, Holland, whatever,
30:18 other riders from different countries,
30:20 but you're from Spain.
30:21 How do you fit in?
30:22 - Yeah, they are like family.
30:25 They are friends for me.
30:28 - Okay, good stuff, and how long have you been on the team?
30:31 - For three years.
30:32 - Three years now, and your brother,
30:34 he's not on this team now, no, right?
30:36 - Yeah, he is.
30:37 - He is, but he's elite, so he's riding now.
30:39 - He's riding.
30:40 - Okay, good stuff, good stuff,
30:41 and a bit of rivalry between you and your brother.
30:44 Obviously, he's older, right?
30:46 - Yeah, he's older, three years.
30:47 - And who's faster, you or your brother?
30:49 - I think my brother.
30:50 - Okay, that's fairly honest of him to say that, really.
30:53 - Yeah.
30:54 - Okay, good stuff.
30:55 Well, listen, I hope to see all three of you
30:57 in that final in the under-23 category.
31:00 Good luck this weekend.
31:01 Any last words you'd like to say?
31:03 - Target, hey!
31:04 - Yeah, hopefully we are all three in the final,
31:09 so that's good.
31:11 Nothing to say, we'll be in the final.
31:13 - Okay, good stuff.
31:14 Listen, that was Team Target BMX.
31:16 As they said, ladies and gentlemen,
31:17 they're like a family here in Verona,
31:20 racing at the European Championships,
31:22 trying to make that European final.
31:24 Let's hope to see 'em all on the podium on Saturday evening.
31:27 Yeah, well done, guys.
31:30 Cheers, good stuff, yeah?
31:32 - Thank you.

33:52 (crowd chattering)
33:55 (crowd chattering)
33:58 (crowd chattering)
34:01 (crowd chattering)
34:04 - Okay, we're gonna line up up again
34:23 for the women's time trial.
34:24 We are about to get this going as the rain just starts,
34:26 so let's crack on with the women's time trial.
34:29 (crowd chattering)
34:32 Spain will be up first, then France, and then Holland.
34:36 You know how it works, ladies and gentlemen,
34:38 the third person across the line, that's the time we take.
34:41 Here we go with Spain, line up on the gate,
34:44 Carla, Camila Garcia, Mariana, Calvis Garcia,
34:48 Adriana Dominguez, and by now, for Spain.
34:52 Your attention for a start.
34:53 (crowd chattering)
34:56 (crowd chattering)
34:59 All right, they're one rider from the elite category
35:15 and two junior riders here from Spain.
35:18 Looking good as they're jumping their way
35:19 through this first run away.
35:20 It's a bit of a tricky one, the wind has gone up a little bit
35:23 so the riders will be just taking their time
35:25 coming around this straightaway here.
35:28 On the second straight, we see the rider
35:29 from the elite category out in front.
35:31 That's the 245 of Calvis Garcia,
35:34 so we're looking for the 526 of Andrea Dominguez.
35:38 She is gonna be the one with the time.
35:40 I think it was the other rider there in second
35:42 who got second place in her category yesterday.
35:46 As they come down the last straightaway,
35:48 we're looking for the third place rider's time.
35:51 They're pretty close to getting her second and third.
35:53 That's not gonna be too bad.
35:54 I think it's a good start for the riders from Spain.
35:57 Currently sit top of the leaderboard.
35:59 We move on to France, atop of the hill.
36:02 We have the French ladies getting ready
36:05 and we're looking to see,
36:07 there's the times coming up on the screen.
36:09 28.
36:10 I can't see that from here, I'm sorry.
36:13 Okay, France are lined up on the gate
36:15 that we are about to go.
36:17 All right, in this one we've got Camille Meir,
36:22 Charlotte Moreau and Tessa Martinez.
36:24 As we see, Camille Meir, the 777 leads this one out.
36:29 The 711 of Tessa Martinez there in the two spot,
36:32 but it's gonna be about the third place.
36:34 Charlotte Moreau on the 81 bike.
36:36 Former Marist Strongbergs number, of course,
36:38 will it bring a bit of Strongbergs luck
36:40 as they come around the second turn?
36:42 Meir, Martinez, Moreau, one, two, and three.
36:46 It's all about third place.
36:47 The track is still dry.
36:49 They can give it all their might
36:50 in and out that last turn.
36:51 Here they come, the French bring them home.
36:54 Ah, Viva France!
36:56 For Michelle Moreau and her time,
36:58 as she crosses the line, we're gonna have to check it out.
37:00 37, I think that was,
37:02 and I think the previous time was 38.
37:04 So currently France in the lead.
37:06 Okay, we're moving on with the Netherlands.
37:14 We're in time trial as the track gets a little bit wet up,
37:17 but it's still dry enough to give it all their,
37:20 oh, it's Judy Bau, it's Michelle Wissing,
37:22 and it's Renske van Zandvoort.
37:25 All right, and then here come the Dutch,
37:29 they wanna be the European champions.
37:31 Judy Bau, Michelle Wissing, and Renske van Zandvoort.
37:36 One, two, and three in and out of that first turn.
37:39 We're looking for the third place rider,
37:41 who is in the third place at the moment.
37:43 I think it's Renske van Zandvoort
37:45 at the moment on the 533.
37:47 And she is a junior lady,
37:50 so she's one of the youngest out of this group.
37:53 Wissing, of course, in the under 23.
37:56 Judy Bau in the elite women,
37:59 but it's gonna be all about Renske van Zandvoort's time
38:02 as she crosses the line, pretty close on the line.
38:05 The finish, it looks like 36 to me.
38:08 I think the Dutch might have just won that.
38:10 But we're gonna have to wait to see the official confirmation
38:15 as we wait for that to come through.
38:17 But my reading of the scoreboard from here,
38:20 I think the Dutch might have won it,
38:22 but I cannot confirm that yet.
38:25 It was 38 seconds, 37, and I think 36.
38:29 But as you know, all weekend, ladies and gentlemen,
38:32 my eyesight hasn't been that great, has it?
38:34 Let's be honest.
38:36 I thought we might have missed the break,
38:38 but I was wrong.
38:40 So we're just gonna wait for the final confirmation.
38:44 (crowd chattering)
38:47 - How was the night?
38:52 - Thank you.
38:53 - Thank you.
38:54 (crowd chattering)
38:57 - All right, we're still waiting
39:10 for the final confirmation to come through.
39:13 And we'll let you know as the riders take cover
39:17 in the facilities here in Olympic Arena here in Varada
39:23 after Republic Day to Italy.
39:28 And we're just waiting for the confirmation
39:36 to come through before we go into the finals
39:38 of the challenge classes.
39:41 - The track is still pretty dry at the moment.
39:44 The concrete is there.
39:45 You see the riders on the big screen
39:47 getting ready for their finals.
39:50 They'll be getting good to go.
39:52 And here is your final confirmation.
39:56 Yeah, you can see it on the big screen.
39:59 It's the Netherlands in first place
40:03 from second, Spain in third.
40:06 The Netherlands are the European Women
40:08 Time Trial Champions for 2024.
40:11 Congratulations, the Dutch Army.

45:27 - Yeah, wowzers.
45:52 There we see the ring now,
45:53 a great start from the rider on the inside,
45:55 Fawcett and Kuglova.
45:57 And you see Iris Hyder go around the outside,
45:59 that's where two riders went down.
46:01 I think one of those might have been Poppy Bishop.
46:03 But Hyder just takes her time in the first turn,
46:06 tucks it in,
46:07 behind Fawcett,
46:08 the world number two,
46:10 she's pretty quick there.
46:11 The Spaniard,
46:12 Mia Kuglova,
46:15 in and out that last turn across the line,
46:18 she takes the European title,
46:20 the world number two,
46:21 and the European champion,
46:22 the rider for free,
46:23 the purebite rider, Martini.
46:26 And we'll come home with the European number three,
46:29 great start.
