The Slovenian-led team boasts a strong squad and is among the frontrunners in both one-day classics and stage races. Criticism of the team’s founder and sponsor, Prince Nasser, has receded into the background.
With Lenny Martinez, Bahrain-Victorious has a promising talent in its ranks, although he has not yet delivered consistently. This year, Antonio Tiberi and Pello Bilbao are also set to line up alongside Martinez. The team therefore has several riders who can compete for a place in the general classification, even if they may not be in contention for the top three places.
With professionals such as Matej Mohorič, a stage victory is also a possibility. The 31-year-old brings a wealth of experience to the table and really comes into his own on fast descents. The Slovenian has already proven on several occasions that he is capable of pulling off spectacular solo victories.
