Beautiful step for team leader Aart Vierhouten: "This team is really going to do fantastic in 2025"

In a press release shared by the team on X on Monday evening, the Dutch selector expressed his satisfaction with his new role. He praised the team and believes that next year will bring many opportunities for the team in white. "I am really looking forward to sharing my knowledge, experience and energy to support the team’s goals in and outside the races."

Vierhouten also addressed the team, where he will work with great talents like Matej Mohoric, Antonio Tiberi, Bilbao, Martinez and Damiano Caruso, among others. "With a mix of young, promising, and more experienced riders, Bahrain Victorious has an amazing roster for the 2025 season." This is certainly the hope for the team from the oil-rich country, as their performance in 2024 was somewhat below expectations.

Bilbao, in particular, had a tough season and, after his strong Tour de France performance in 2023, would have hoped for more. Mohoric also achieved significantly fewer successes than in previous years. Tiberi finished in the top five in the Giro but was simply exhausted in the Vuelta. The Italian will aim to take another step forward in 2025. The arrival of Martinez is a big boost for the team. With the young Frenchman, they have a new climbing talent with immense growth potential.
