This means that the team from the Persian Gulf Kingdom will be using the racing kit from Alé for the fifth season in a row. The main change from last year: instead of white, the team led by two-time Tour stage runner-up Phil Bauhaus will be riding in dark blue in the coming season. As a tribute to the tenth anniversary of the Bahrain Victorious racing team, the jersey also features a black X on the chest.
The colour-contrasting sleeves in Celeste are also new. Probably the best-known colour in the racing bike industry, it is officially intended to evoke the sea around the island state and the history of Bahrain. In reality, however, the colour scheme reveals the New co-operation with Bianchi. The Italian luxury brand equips Bahrain-Victorious with the Oltre RC racing bikes for the first time, Specialissima RC and Aquila RC, after the team had been riding Merida bikes in recent years.
