Bahrain Victorious announced the signing of three young riders, including Giro di Sicilia stage winner Fran Miholjević.

The 20-year-old Croatian made himself known in the UCI 2.1-ranked stage race in April when he attacked the day's breakaway on stage 3 and soloed in for an emphatic victory, snatching the race lead from Damiano Caruso for a day before conceding on Mount Etna.
