Bahrain - Victorious head to Tour Down Under with ambitious Phil Bauhaus and Jack Haig

Bahrain - Victorious will be a motivated team to perform on the Australian soil next week. Phil Bauhaus will be defending a stage win from 2023, while Jack Haig is racing in his homeland for the first time since 2016, when he finished fifth at Herald Sun Tour (2.1).

"Four of the guys are young and new to this race, are really excited to be here and all really keen to do their jobs well. Everyone is enjoying the Australian experience so far. It’s a race in two parts really: stages 1-4 are opportunities for the sprinters but we’ll certainly try to keep the different areas covered of course," analyzes head DS Neil Stephens.

"Phil Bauhaus is coming back to the TdU for a second consecutive year. Last year, he had some great support from the team and was able to pull off stage one. He’s certainly coming back trying to aim for stages, he’s probably in even better shape than he was last time around, and he’s really looking forward to the race once again," he adds.

Bahrain - Victorious lineup for Tour Down Under:
Phil Bauhaus, Nicolò Buratti, Jack Haig, Fran Miholjevic, Johan Price-Pejtersen, Cameron Scott and Torstein Traeen
