Bahrain - Victorious have been the first team to reveal their Tour de France lineup this Sunday, it is an absolutely stacked one including many leaders, and Mikel Landa who will hope to fight for the podium in the overall classification.
Landa has has an incredibly strong spring, showing a level he has never done so before last year. He will be a contender for the podium at the Tour where the route suits him perfectly. Despite that, his form at the recent Criterium du Dauphiné is slightly worrying for the team, but Bahrain brings in further options in Pello Bilbao who will also have a home start, and Jack Haig. Both may fight for stage wins, and also ride in support in the mountains, as is the case with Wout Poels.
It is a lineup with no misses, Phil Bauhaus will be riding his first Tour de France and will be a contender for the bunch sprints, and will have the support of Nikias Arndt who has also been riding in a very strong level this year. They will be joined by Fred Wright who should provide support there, sprint in the hilly days as well as fight for breakaways.
The lineup is completed by Matej Mohoric who has won the final stage of the Tour of Slovenia and is carrying strong form, and will be chasing stage wins throughout the Tour to add to his palmarès.
Bahrain - Victorious for Tour de France:
Nikias Arndt, Phil Bauhaus, Pello Bilbao, Jack Haig, Mikel Landa, Matej Mohoric, Wout Poels and Fred Wright.
