Jack Haig will make his race debut for Bahrain Victorious at the four-day Tour de la Provence (February 11-14) alongside Heinrich Haussler, Wout Poels, and Dylan Teuns.

The French race has been boosted by a huge turn out from WorldTour teams this year due to several other high profile races falling by the wayside due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bahrain Victorious is set to send a team that competes in the sprints and uphill stages.

Haig moved to the team at the end of last year after starting his professional career at Mitchelton-Scott. The Australian isn’t sure where his form is compared to his rivals but will use the French race to embed himself into his new surroundings before taking on WorldTour events later this spring.
