Tour of Antalya is traditionally among the most overlooked 2.1 races on the UCI schedule, but this year's startlist is very impressive, with two WT teams and 9 PRT teams making the early trip to Turkiye. Bahrain - Victorious is one of them.
The four-day stage race will offer a bit for everyone. First stage on the coast will be the only opportunity for pure sprinters like Alberto Bruttomesso. Stages 2 and 4 are a bit harder to read but likely scenario is a sprint of reduced group or (late) breakaway. Stage 3 is the queen stage of this race with over 3000 meters of climbing and it is where Edoardo Zambanini should prove himself.
"The guys will be riding for the first time together. The challenge I see will be controlling the race, so we will have to work together with total concentration. We aim to achieve our goals as a team, which is to win a stage and, in the GC, fight for a podium," says sports director Enrico Poitschke.
Bahrain - Victorious lineup for Tour of Antalya:
Alberto Bruttomesso, Matevz Govekar, Ahmed Madan, Finlay Pickering, Cameron Scott, Sergio Tu and Edoardo Zambanini
