Junior racing - The stars of the future

Does anyone know anything about Death?
More specifically whether he's a 1st Year Junior, who rode a few National Series races last year.
Or a 2nd Year Junior, who only rode National Series races last year.

(No. I wasn't being philosophical.)

Maybe he is too old to be a junior and that's why he got disqualified?

Took too long to warm up.

Points will be based on the FC Junior ranking (see 2024 https://firstcycling.com/ranking.php?k=fc&rank=jr&y=2024)

Points are based on stages/GC, using the table shown below. The only variation is the x.x factor we’ve assigned to races. For example, Nations Cup races score more points than J.2.1 races, and so on

What's people's opinion on this?

This country is banning time trial bikes for juniors – I think it's a great idea

Cycling equipment is expensive enough, and winning shouldn't only be for the wealthy

Sane idea. TT bikes for juniors makes the sport unnecessarily expensive for kids (their parents).

A good idea, really should be sport wide to ensure parity.

Maybe one of them decided to stay in the womb for another 3.5 months.

Here's a photo of them from 2022. They do not not look alike, but according to a post from their current team, they are not related.

They have both raced for ASC Olympia, which Isa (not Lisa) Klein also has, and she is apparently Jesse's sister.

Jaen nations cup for junior women today with Erin Boothman winning from probable favourite and future Movistar rider Paula Ostiz.
