Bahrain - Victorious are heading to the Deutschland Tour with high ambitions, however not with Phil Bauhaus as the German sprinter had to drop out of the race this morning due to a Covid-19 infection.
Bauhaus had won a stage and showed serious form at the recent Tour de Pologne, and although his home-stage featured mostly hilly stages, he could feature in the less selective days. Pello Bilbao will lead the team's GC aspirations, whilst the likes of Fabio Jakobsen, Caleb Ewan and Olav Kooij will fight for the sprints.
🏥 @PhilBauhaus will not start the Deutschland Tour @DeineTour due to a positive Covid-19 test with mild symptoms. All other riders and staff have returned negative tests. The team will start the race today with 5 riders. Get well soon Phil! #RideAsOne #DeineTour 🇩🇪
