Bahrain Victorious Confirm Full 2026 Critérium du Dauphiné Seven-Rider Squad — Lenny Martinez 9/2 GC Outright On A Closing Single-Card Pre-Tour Brief, Buitrago Carries The Closing Mountain Co-Leadership Card

Sunday late evening Manama — Twenty-eight days from the closing Sunday 7 June Voiron-Voreppe Grand Départ, Bahrain Victorious have closed their full 2026 Critérium du Dauphiné seven-rider squad on the cleanest single-most-considered single-card protected-leadership pre-Tour build the Bahraini-licensed operation have tabled across the closing post-Mader-Higuita-Wright operating-model reset. The closing seven-rider line reads Lenny Martinez, Santiago Buitrago, Matej Mohorič, Wout Poels, Damiano Caruso, Stephen Williams and Fred Wright.

The closing single-card protected-leadership reference transfers to Lenny Martinez on the cleanest pre-Tour Pyrenean-recon outright window the 22-year-old French climber has banked across the closing post-2026 Tour de Romandie third-step podium reset. Closing GC outright opens at 9/2, contracting from a closing 11/2 pre-confirmation reference and now sitting fourth across the closing six-card book behind Del Toro at 6/4, Jorgenson at 5/2 and Skjelmose at 7/2. The closing 1:14-to-Pogačar Romandie podium reads as the cleanest sub-twenty-three GC podium the Bahraini-licensed squad have banked across the eight-year team history.

Buitrago carries the closing mountain co-leadership card on the cleanest pre-Tour Colombian climbing-domestique brief the closing Bogotá-registered rider has tabled across the closing post-2024 Vuelta a España fourth-step podium reset. The closing Stage 6 La Plagne summit finish and the closing Stage 7 Col du Pré-La Plagne queen stage form the closing twin-mountain reference for the closing combined Martinez-Buitrago book, with the closing Stage 8 Combloux ITT reading as the closing twin-discipline benchmark for the closing pre-Tour climbing-form pivot ahead of the closing 4 July Lille Grande Départ.

Sport-director Vladimir Miholjević formally tables the closing eight-stage Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes parcours as the cleanest single-most-considered pre-Tour de France recon window the Bahraini-licensed squad have committed to since the closing 2022 Mader-Higuita twin-card reset. The closing Mohorič-Wright twin-card classics reference now opens with the closing Stage 1 Voiron-Voreppe opening-day at 16/1 outright on a closing punchy-stage opportunist brief, contracting from a closing 22/1 pre-confirmation reference; closing Stage 5 Mâcon-to-Combloux mid-mountain breakaway opens at 14/1 across the closing major UK book.

Closing Wout Poels and Damiano Caruso form the closing veteran climbing-domestique frame on the cleanest pre-Tour Pyrenean-recon brief the closing operation have tabled across the closing post-2024 reset window. The closing Williams-Wright twin-card opportunist reference reads at 18/1 combined Stage 1-and-Stage 5 outright probability, with the closing 1,484-watt 11-second peak power reference across Williams's closing 2026 Volta a Catalunya breakaway-stage win reading as the closing single-rider closing-week punchy-stage benchmark the squad have logged across the closing 2026 Spring window.

Closing combined Bahrain Victorious Critérium du Dauphiné stage-and-jersey probability now reads at 41% across the closing eight-stage Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes window, the cleanest closing single-most-considered combined probability reference the Bahraini-licensed squad have tabled at the twenty-eight-days-out checkpoint since the closing 2022 Mader-Higuita-Wright twin-card reset. Closing pre-Tour de France GC outright for Lenny Martinez now reads at 22/1 across the closing major UK book, contracting from a closing 33/1 pre-Romandie reference; closing Tour de France maillot blanc outright reads at 9/4 across the closing market.

Closing pre-Dauphiné build window for Lenny Martinez now opens with the closing two-week Sierra Nevada altitude block from Tuesday 12 May through Tuesday 26 May, followed by the closing one-week Pyrenean climbing camp through the closing Saturday 6 June Voiron-Voreppe team-presentation reference. The closing Manama service-course Wednesday afternoon team-management briefing now formally closes the closing seven-rider line through the closing seven-charter departure window from Bahrain International Airport to Lyon-Saint-Exupéry on the closing Friday 5 June pre-Voiron pre-roll reference.
