Victories 2024: 13

Bahrain-Victorious has 13 victories to its name. This is six fewer than in 2023, and the team was also unable to match the previous year's successes in terms of value, with three stage wins at the Tour de France, two at the Giro d'Italia and one at the Vuelta a Espana. In 2024, Grand Tour stage wins are a thing of the past, just like in the classics. One of the most prestigious victories came from Phil Bauhaus, who won stage 3 of Tirreno-Adriatico.

Driver with the most victories: 3

Matevz Govekar cheered three times for Bahrain-Victorious. The 24-year-old Slovenian won the 2nd stage of the Tour of Antalya in February, the 6th stage of the Tour of Britain in September and the 6th stage of the Tour of Guangxi in China at the end of the season.

Most racing days: 83

Edoardo Zambanini has a long season behind him, which began at the end of January at the AlUla Tour and ended at the end of October with the Japan Cup. This brings the 23-year-old Italian to 83 race days - a record for Bahrain-Victorious. The only Grand Tour he contested was the Giro d'Italia. Zambanini is also the rider with the most race kilometres in the team: 13067, which is almost 2000 more than Jack Haig in second place.
