Team Bahrain Victorious won’t be at the start of the Bretagne Classic, the French one-day classic race taking place in Plouay next Sunday, 29th of August.

Following the team’s medical protocols, the decision was made following a positive Covid-19 result. While the positive case could be substituted, close contact with other staff makes creating a safe ‘race bubble’ difficult.

The team withdraws from the official start list of the race in agreement with the race organiser.
