Mark Padun is set to ride for EF-Education Nippo in 2022, according to multiple sources approached by Cyclingnews. The 25-year-old has ridden for Bahrain Victorious since turning professional in 2018 but he announced on Monday that he would be leaving the squad at the end of the current season.

"Still doing this post to give thanks to Team Bahrain Victorious for four years with this team where I’ve started my pro cycling career, had a lot of successes and have made unforgettable memories with stuff and rides," Padun wrote on his Instagram account.
