After a rather anonymous Tour de France,
Bahrain - Victorious hopes to provide all the good reasons for fans to forget about their French misery as their goal for
Vuelta a Espana is no less than GC podium with
Antonio Tiberi and ideally a couple stage wins on top of that.
Sports Director Neil Stephens is confident in a
press release ahead of the Gran Salida: "We are starting out in Lisboa with a time trial. We are hoping to go well there with a couple different riders, especially Antonio. We circle through Portugal in the next two stages before going to Spain for stage 4. From there, we go down to the south of Spain, where we’ll get some hard, gruelling stages and extreme heat."
