The Bahrain Victorious team and Merida bikes will part ways at the end of the year, after a nine-year partnership.
The two joined forces at the team's inception in 2017, with the Taiwanese bike manufacturer lending its name, and the squad starting life as Bahrain-Merida. While the team name changed, first to Bahrain McLaren in 2020 and then to Bahrain Victorious the following year, they have continued to ride Merida bikes with notable success.
