Hi Subscribers,

I wouldnโ€™t normally send three newsletters in one day, nor would I usually send one this short, but when major news reaches my desk, itโ€™s extremely difficult to keep it under wraps.

I can confirm that Bahrain Victorious will race on Bianchi bikes next season, marking the end of the teamโ€™s long association with Merida.

Bahrain Victorious was formed in 2017 as the Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team, and has been using Merida bikes ever since. However, that association will come to an end this year, with the iconic Italian brand Bianchi taking over the supply of bikes to the WorldTour team.
