Bahrain - Victorious reinforce for 2024 with signing of Torstein Traeen
CyclingThursday, 19 October 2023 at 14:15
Bahrain - Victorious have officially announced the capture of 28-year-old Norwegian rider, Torstein Traeen from the Uno-X Pro Cycling Team on a two-year deal.
The deal to take Traeen to Bahrain - Victorious had been much rumoured for a while but now it has been officially confirmed. “I’m very excited about joining the team and taking on the new challenges it will bring," says Traeen, who impressed at the Critérium du Dauphiné earlier this year, finishing 8th overall. "I believe the team will be a great place for me to make the needed steps in my development by learning from great people.”

As mentioned, Traeen put in an impressive performance at the Dauphine in 2023 and that alongside other positive results such as winning the King of the Mountains jersey at the 2022 Tour of the Alps and finishing in the top-10 overall at this year's edition, demonstrate the potential Traeen has to compete at the top level.
Although he did compete at his first Grand Tour in Uno-X colours earlier this year at the Tour de France, the chance to battle it out at World Tour level for the next two years will surely see the Norwegian only improve further.

- "The viewing and visitor figures are both better than when they were riding" - what a BS. Please compare (and only then) visitor figures during current season vs when WvA and MvdP are back in December (hopefully!) otherwise you are comparing oranges to apples.averagecyclist19-11-2024
- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024

- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- 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
