Bahrain Merida in action

Manama : Bahrain Merida Pro-Cycling Team are in action tomorrow when they participate in the Fleche Brabanconne Cycling Race in Belgium.

“The team will be motivated with Sonny Colbrelli as the first leader and Enrico Gasparotto as the second one,” says sports director Tristan Hoffman. 

“We have Sonny back on this classic, and all the others will be very important to help the captain and also to try to go to the breakaway. Gasparotto had a great result last year in this race and was a runner-up and Grega Bole was in the top 10 last year, so we feel comfortable and confident with the chosen lineup. AfterRonde Van Vlaanderren, Sonny didn’t attend the Schledeprijes and Paris-Roubaix, and now after short refreshment, he is ready for new challenges, such as Brandbatse and Amstel race, and to make a step further. He is ready for big results, but all things have to fall in the right place and we believe in that.”

It is a race with a lot of climbs and a hard tempo and close to the end within the loops the peloton usually breaks into many parts. Such a scenario could be a good one for us.

The Bahrain Merida Team lineup for all three races is Ivan Cortina, Enrico Gasparotto, Grega Bole, David Per, Luka Pibernik, Meiyin Wang and Sonny Colbrelli.
