Team Bahrain McLaren
Established in 2017, Team Bahrain-McLaren continues to build into one of the forces of international cycling.
Standing on the podium at the Giro d'Italia and La Vuelta in its first year, the team has benefitted from the step-up of McLaren (of Formula One fame) to title-sponsor status.
2019 was a tough year for the team after enjoying one-day successes in Milano-Sanremo and the Binck Bank Tour in 2018.
Securing the signature of high-profile riders Mikel Landa (from Movistar), Mark Cavendish (from Dimension Data) and Wout Poels (from INEOS), Bahrain-McLaren will be looking to a more fortuitous 2020 season.
