Bahrain - Victorious have extended their contract with Antonio Tiberi into 2027. This is revealed on the day that the Giro d'Italia starts and the Italian will be at the helm of the team's overall classification ambitions.
“I am very happy with my contract extension. I immediately felt at home with this team," Tiberi said in a press release. "In addition, my condition has really improved here. So I have taken steps both physically and mentally. Everyone on this team has helped me, and I am very grateful for that. I'm sure I'll keep getting better. I am growing as a rider and person here."
Tiberi signed for the team in mid-2023, after having his contract with Lidl-Trek ended over an incident where he shot a cat near his residence in San Marino. Ever since, Tiberi has gotten accustomed to Bahrain's structure and ridden into a leader status this season. Strong performances at the Volta a Catalunya and then a podium at the Tour of the Alps was enough to convince the team into giving him the lead at the Corsa Rosa - with Damiano Caruso and Phil Bauhaus also as protected riders.
Team manager Milan Ezren adds to this motivation: “Antonio has already shown great things this season. He is very disciplined and has shown that he is mature. That is why he is also our leader in the Giro.” The new contract spans until 2027.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
