Bahrain Victorious have confirmed their lineup for the 2023 Tour de France, with Mikel Landa set to lead the team on home soil when the race departs from Bilbao on July 1. 

Memories of the painfully-recent loss of Gino Mäder remain very strong within the peloton and even more so in his team, with the squad stating in their Tour de France press release Sunday. “We want to ride in his memory and dedicate it to him. Today and every day we ride for you, Gino.”
