After his departure from Trek - Segafredo was confirmed on the 28th of April, Antonio Tiberi has been a free agent, searching for a new contract. Now though, that could be coming to an end.
According to a report from Ciro Scognamiglio, Bahrain - Victorious are all set to give the controversial Italian a second chance at World Tour level. Tiberi's ignominious departure from Trek was of course brought on by his conviction for shooting the cat of a San Marino minister. Nevertheless, he is still a very talented bike rider and at just 21 years old, has a promising future in the peloton.
"According to our source the mid-season transfer of Antonio Tiberi from Trek - Segafredo to Bahrain - Victorious can be considered a done deal," says the report. "Possible first race for him with new jersey is likely to be Tour de Suisse (11-18 June)"
